Livia Lacey came to the house she inherited in London's Cavendish Square
with her two friends, Lady Cornelia Dagenham and Lady Aurelia Farnham,
to experience the excitement of city life. With Cornelia now happily
married, Livia and Aurelia are on their own. But dashing Prince Alex
Prokov, a newcomer to London, seems enchanted by Liv the moment they
meet. Disarmed by the prince's determined pursuit of her, his exuberant
joy of living, and the desires he awakens in her, Liv agrees to marry
him.
But while night is a time for passionate embraces, Liv discovers that
her irresistible husband can be as autocratic as he is extravagantly
generous. While Alex balks at Liv's independent ways, he refuses to
explain his own comings and goings. When Liv learns one of Alex's
secrets she only loves him more. But when she learns the other secret,
will she feel wickedly betrayed?
