Wedding bells celebrating the arranged marriage between the lovely Duchess of Beaumont and her staid, imperturbable duke had scarcely fallen silent when a shocking discovery sent Jemma running from the ducal mansion. For the next nine years she cavorted abroad, creating one delicious scandal after another (if one is to believe the rumors).
Elijah, Duke of Beaumont, did believe those rumors.
But the handsome duke needs an heir, so he summons his seductive wife home. Jemma laughs at Elijah's cool eyes and icy heart--but to her secret shock, she doesn't share his feelings. In fact, she wants the impossible: her husband's heart at her feet.
But what manner of seduction will make a man fall desperately in love . . . with his own wife?

Everytime I read an Eloisa James novel, I get a smile on my face and I enjoy the book, and this book was amazing. I felt sorry for Elijah because he is having heart problems and throughout the book but at the end his heart problems go away. Also the one thing that confused me throughout this whole entire book was the playing chess in bed. Like seriously, who does that? Why Jemma and Elijah does!
This book also has a little story about the Duke of Villiers and how he's trying to find six of his bastard children. He found the first one, Tobias aka Juby and now he's looking for the rest of his children including a wife...and that would be in the next book of the Desperate Duchesses series.
Also this book shows (or tells) how Jemma and Elijah "wooed" each other and I honestly like it.
