A marriage shaped by image and mistrust

Set in Victorian London, the novel brings together Felix Rivendale, a marquess celebrated as an ideal gentleman, and Louisa Cantwell, who accepts his proposal to secure support for her sisters. Louisa doubts the perfection others praise, while Felix’s dependence on public admiration complicates the image he presents. Their marriage of convenience develops into a relationship marked by physical attraction, unanswered questions about his motives, and secrets Louisa fears could change what she knows of him. The central tension rests on the gap between social reputation and private vulnerability, as practical necessity and desire pull the newlyweds toward a deeper attachment.

Book overview

"The angsty, sexy historical romance of my dreams."--Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Includes a foreword by Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author

From the superbly gifted Sherry Thomas comes this beautifully written romance about a marriage of convenience that turns inconveniently passionate...


Felix Rivendale, the Marquess of Wrenworth, is The Ideal Gentleman, a man all men want to be and all women want to possess. Even Felix himself almost believes this golden image. But underneath is a damaged soul soothed only by public adulation.

Louisa Cantwell needs to marry well to support her sisters. She does not, however, want Lord Wrenworth--though he seems inexplicably interested in her. She mistrusts his outward perfection, and the praise he garners everywhere he goes. Still, when he is the only man to propose at the end of the London season, she reluctantly accepts.

Louisa does not understand her husband's mysterious purposes, but she cannot deny the pleasure her body takes in his touch. Nor can she deny the pull this magnetic man exerts upon her. But does she dare to fall in love with a man so full of dark secrets, any one of which could devastate her, if she were to get any closer?
