“You have not laid eyes on me in five years. Do not call me your wife.”

The gossip columns claim that the Duchess of Kensington is pregnant. Which is outrageous, considering that she has not seen her husband in five years.

Having already seen his first wife to the grave, Dominic does not wish to repeat the past. So, he must keep his distance from his new Duchess.

Yet… despite his indifference, Dominic is enraged to hear the rumors. And he returns to London to demand her submission. Only to find her in utter disobedience… And even more irresistible than he remembered.
