![]() ![]() Bit by bit, Helene and Rees come to terms with the disastrous first year of their marriage, including Rees's lack of skill in the marital bed (which is refreshing for a romance hero), and they begin to wonder if their love can be rekindled. Rees has a secret, however he's keeping his mistress there only for her skilled voice, not out of love or even interest in the woman. The catch-his current mistress will remain in the house. Shaken out of his self-involvement by Helene's determination, Rees offers a bargain: he'll father Helene's child, making it legitimate, if she agrees to move into his house for a month and help him with his opera. The very proper Helene enjoys the solicitude of the rest of Society-until she decides that she wants a child and will have one even if she has to go outside her marriage. ![]() Rounding out her quartet of Regency-era romances ( A Wild Pursuit,Įtc.), James delivers the story of Helene, long estranged from her husband, Rees, who pens comic operas and thrives on scandal. ![]()
