Steam: Steam Level 5
Can arranged marriages end with happily-ever-afters?
Eleanor Villiers, now Lady Hyde and originally a reluctant wife to Lord Edwin, has fallen in love with her husband without the reassurance that he loves her back. It’s literally the very situation she’d wanted to avoid by marrying a man who loved her more than she loved him, so that she wouldn’t turn into the miserable, neglected wife that her mother was. Stubborn and spirited, Eleanor begins to try out various tactics to discover her husband’s true feelings towards her, only to find that she knows very little about love. Unfortunately her antics constantly lead her into situations where disciplinary measures become necessary, and Edwin’s punishments are as exciting as they are painful.
Irene has married Eleanor’s brother Hugh Stanley, Viscount Petersham, even though she’s in love with another man. Her mother has reassured her that within the ton it is perfectly acceptable to marry one man and be another’s mistress, as long as she gives her husband the requisite heirs first. On their honeymoon to Hugh’s estates, Irene finds her emotions becoming increasingly confused she becomes more and more fond of her husband – is it possible to love two men at once? Under his gentle care and approval her true self begins to emerge out in the countryside, leading to some unsafe behavior on her part which requires Hugh’s immediate attention. He never wanted a rebellious wife who would need constant discipline, but he doesn’t hesitate to mete it out when necessary.
As the ladies struggle with their notions of love, the men struggle with the hot and cold temperaments of their wives, and all of them wonder if, and how, they can make their marriages work.
