Now however Sera has returned to London of her own accord and demanded a divorce on the last day of the House of Lords, not only humiliating Malcolm in front of his peers but also letting him no in no uncertain circumstances that she wants to be free of him permanently. Sera suffered a devastating loss and fled and the Duke has been relentlessly searching for her ever since, crossing continents and oceans in an attempt to find his Duchess and make things right between them. There was enough about Malcolm and Seraphina in that scene for me to want to know their backstory and to see what happened next.Īnd so we pick up several years into the future after Sophie sat the Duke on his backside. The idea of this has intrigued me from the very beginning of the first book in this series, where Sophie Talbot caught her sister’s husband inflagrante and pushed him into a pond in front of most of London’s high society. The duke has a single summer to woo his wife and convince her that, despite their broken past, he can give her forever, making every day The Day of the Duchess. Haven offers her a deal Sera can have her freedom, just as soon as she finds her replacement…which requires her to spend the summer in close quarters with the husband she does not want, but somehow cannot resist. There is only one problem-he already has one.Īfter years in exile, Seraphina, Duchess of Haven, returns to London with a single goal-to reclaim the life she left and find happiness, unencumbered by the man who broke her heart. The dukedom does not wait, however, and Haven requires an heir, which means he must find himself a wife by summer’s end. Malcolm Bevingstoke, Duke of Haven, has lived the last three years in self-imposed solitude, paying the price for a mistake he can never reverse and a love he lost forever.
