Romance Reading Bingo Challenge 2014: A book with a 'class differences' relationship
Estranged for the eight years of
their marriage, nothing about Kit and Jess’s relationship has ever been normal.
They had been childhood friends, but when circumstances force the future Duke
of Greycliffe to marry the family groom’s daughter in order to save Jess’s
reputation, their relationship has never been the same. As a result of
society’s poisonous gossip, Kit thinks that Jess has slept with every male in
the county; while Jess believes Kit to have had his fair share of discreet
affairs. Kit has finally faced up to the reality that he needs an heir - which
requires reuniting and reconciling with his wife who has every reason to hate
him for abandoning her. To top it off, his mother is the infamous matchmaker,
the Duchess of Love, who considers her eldest son’s unhappy marriage her one
failure.
