Rule's Bride

Unrepentant rake Rule Dewar is living the good life when an unfortunate event occurs-he falls in love with his wife. After their strategic 'marriage of commerce' three years ago, Rule quite forgot about Violet Griffin, the teenage heiress to a Boston manufacturing fortune. He simply spoke his vows, took over her father's business and returned to England to resume his usual pursuits: high-priced wine, high-stakes gambling and high-born women. Yet when Violet, now a sophisticated woman, unexpectedly appears at Rule's London town house, husbandly duties no longer seem so odious-he can't wait to take his stunning bride to their marriage bed.
Violet, however, is not so easily led: she has her own ideas and is seeking an annulment to marry another.
