Synopsis:

Richard, Marquess of Devon is satisfied with his ton marriage. His wife of five months, Lady Eugenia Devon, thought she was, too, until she found the book. Their marriage is one of respect and affection, with no messy entanglements such as love. Devon’s upbringing impressed upon him that gentlemen slake their baser needs on a mistress, not their gently bred wives. However, once married, he was no longer comfortable bedding a woman other than Eugenia. When she stumbles onto a naughty book, she begins a campaign to change the rules.Lady Eugenia wants her very proper husband to fall in love with her. But her much changed and undeniably wicked behavior might inadvertently drive her confused husband to ponder the unthinkable—his perfect Lady has taken a lover. But the only man Eugenia only wants is her husband. The book can bring sizzling desire to the marriage or it might cause an explosion.

Excerpt:

Devon rubbed his knee as he continued to watch Eugenia weave her way back from whence she’d come. It appeared after being stopped a few times, she was headed to the French doors. After a furtive look around, she opened the door and slipped outside.

Bloody hell! Had she made an assignation? Why else would she be sneaking into the garden by herself?

It took some time, but eventually he made his way through the gathering and out the door. With no moon, it was hard to see, but he fumbled down the steps and listened. Nothing. Where had she gone?

He took the path toward the front of the house where all the carriages sat. Perhaps she was meeting someone there to be whisked away to a love nest. His stomach muscles tightened.

A thorough search of the carriage area did not turn up anyone other than drivers playing cards, waiting for their masters to send for them. He rested his hands on his hips and looked back toward the patio.

Eugenia might have gone down the path that wandered around the back of the house. With no lighting on that side, it would be difficult to maneuver, but also a perfect spot for a tryst.

Yes. That must be where she’d gone. Perhaps her lover met her right outside the door and together they took a leisurely walk in the darkness. Why right now, they could be…

Anger coursed through him, setting his heart to thumping. Determined to find them and give the man a good thrashing, he pulled on the cuffs of his jacket, and shoulders back, headed toward the darkness.

The path was not easy to maneuver. Carefully, he walked over the stones, finally able to see a bit more with the lighting from the card room. Ahead, he saw a figure come out from the bushes near the window. He’d found them!

Fisting his hands by his sides, he marched up to his wife, whose back was to him. She seemed to be brushing off her gown, and re-arranging her hair. He was a mere three feet from her when she turned, and screamed. “My lord!”
