Surrender Becomes Her

After disappearing nearly two years ago, Lady Laura Sweet has returned to Ravenswood Palace, home of her estranged husband. The place where she suffered his neglect, as well as emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his late father the duke. Laura has only come home to demand a divorce from her husband, but his brother, the new Duke of Ravenswood, is determined to make things difficult and demands they thrash out the failures of their marriage for his benefit. Nash Sweet spent years under the thumb of his cruel, evil father. Even in death, the man is proving hard to shake, and Nash is only now discovering all the ways the old duke interfered in his marital affairs. But that doesn't mean he forgives his wife for abandoning their sons and forsaking their marriage-especially when she returns bearing an infant daughter he knew nothing about! Nash is equally willing to discuss divorce, but with proximity comes the resurrection of old feelings...and perhaps some new ones he was not prepared for.
