Description

"I'm Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent. I can't be celibate. Everyone knows that."

Desperate to escape her scheming relatives, Evangeline Jenner has sought the help of the most infamous scoundrel in London.

A marriage of convenience is the only solution.

No one would have ever paired the shy, stammering wallflower with the sinfully handsome viscount. It quickly becomes clear, however, that Evie is a woman of hidden strength—and Sebastian desires her more than any woman he's ever known.

Determined to win her husband's elusive heart, Evie dares to strike a bargain with the devil: If Sebastian can stay celibate for three months, she will allow him into her bed.

When Evie is threatened by a vengeful enemy from the past, Sebastian vows to do whatever it takes to protect his wife . . . even at the expense of his own life.

Together they will defy their perilous fate, for the sake of all-consuming love.

  • My favorite of this series!

    This is one of my favorite historical romances. Evie is the most strong-willed character who comes from such a bad home situation. She refuses to break and that backbone is what helps her to face Sebastian’s snarky personality. Sebastian is really the villain from book 2 so it picks up right after those events. He’s very cold and lashes out easily. But Evie never backs down. He really grew and I fall in love with them each time I read this book. To see him soften up and care about her makes me swoon. “You’re my wife… My better half… My prize…my pleasure and pain…my endless desire. I’ve never known anyone like you, Evie.” • Tropes: historical romance, reformed playboy, marriage of convenience, forced proximity ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️

    After reading the previous book in the series, I started this book a little meh on Sebastian’s character BUT IN THE END, I LOVED THIS BOOK more than the last!! 😭 Technically enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, a scandalous rake, and a smart main character who knows how to stand her ground. Love it all, no skim reading at any point. The dialogues between them were so intriguing and never left me bored lol Sebastian’s humor was everything. ITS A MUST READ!!
