The Banished Bride

A drunken laugh, a roll of the dice . . . and suddenly Aurora Sprague finds herself a child bride, married in haste to a young man she’s never met to settle her father’s gaming debt. Moments after the ceremony, she is banished to a remote estate while the new groom gallops off to the army. For years, they are apart, married in name only. But when Alex Fenimore, now a top intelligence officer, is sent on a secret mission to unmask a female spy, their paths cross. He has no idea that the fiery young lady is his wife . . . and that the sparks of desire between them are about to ignite a most unexpected passion.
