The Wedding Night - Hardcover

From Booklist: After years spent traveling the globe, Samuel has returned home to London, prompted by a missive from his wife, Cassandra, who wants a deed of legal separation from her long-absent and not-fondly-remembered husband. Four years ago Samuel had "purchased" Cassie's hand in marriage, but after a less-than-stellar wedding night with his inexperienced young bride, Samuel abandoned Cassie to pursue his goal of acquiring a fortune. Samuel paid a high price for her, however, and has no intention of letting her go, especially since she plays a key role in his plans of revenge. But Cassie, who has a passion for romantic novels, has plans of her own, and they don't include a husband. A wickedly dissolute hero is redeemed through his love of a smart heroine in Smith's latest, the fifth in this RITA Award-winning author's Rosebud series. A wonderfully creative plot laced with danger and rendered in deliciously witty prose should be irresistible to readers who like clever, sexy Regency romances.
