Old passions have cooled . . . It was desire at first sight when Lady Katherine "Kitty" Holden and William Colborne, Earl of Radcliffe, met. The stars aligned in their favor for a brief, shining moment before tragedy struck and the heavens came crashing down. Now Kitty is desperate to escape her loveless marriage to William and she's willing to do anything, even divorce, to free herself from the cold, handsome husband who refuses to let her go. But even a single ember can ignite a blaze . . . William has never met a woman that infuriates him more than Kitty . . . or makes his blood burn as hot. He knows that he doesn't deserve her, but he'll be damned before he gives her up. Surely there's something in their marriage worth saving. Her beautiful blue eyes might flash with fury whenever she looks at him, but when they kiss—when they kiss, her lips are pure passion. Long-held secrets rise to the surface in a battle of wills that threatens to tear apart everything Kitty and William thought they knew about each other and about love. Because sometimes, happily-ever-afters aren't just granted . . . sometimes, they must be fought for. Contains mature themes.
