Stunned when she becomes caught in the middle of a romantic scandal when she discovers that her fiance already has a secret wife, virtuous Katherine Fleming is forced to accept the unorthodox proposal of notorious rogue Dominic Mallory, her faithless suitor's brother. Original.
Katherine Fleming was happy that she was going to marry Colden Mallory. He was the man she chose. Three nights before her wedding Colden reveals that the woman that had been his wife, that he believed was dead, had suddenly reappeared. Not wanting to lose Katherine's money and property Colden suggests that his brother Dominic marry Katherine. If Dominic marries Katherine Colden will sign over Lansing Square to him. Dominic and Katherine marry. Katherine knew what unhappy marriages were, since she was the product of one. She refuses to give Dominic her heart. Dominic has always told himself he would never marry or have children, now he's falling in love with Katherine and he's afraid to tell her that he's actually a ******* and he only wanted Lansing Square to find prove to who his father was. This was Ms. Petersen's debut novel and I loved it. I loved Dominic, who was so conflicted and Katherine who, despite herself fell in love with her husband. Colden and his wife Sarah were great villains.
