For two years she has wanted a real marriage, and if he can't offer that, she'll push for a divorce. Anthony Stratford knew his life needed to change, but he didn't realize how desperately until his wife threatens a divorice. It seemed nothing could go right. He was a failure as a husband, and as a marquis. It was time to right the wrongs... and he'd start by wooing his wife.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, can Anthony finally grant Gwen the kind of life she desires? Or will ruination and humiliation rule the season?
