Private Arrangements

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2008


"Ravishingly sinful, intelligent and addictive. An amazing debut."

— Eloisa James, New York Times bestselling author


For ten years, Lord and Lady Tremaine have kept the width of the Atlantic Ocean between them.  It is an arrangement much lauded by London Society: What a perfectly civilized way to conduct a marriage! 

 

But it wasn't always that way. When Gigi Rowland first met Camden Saybrook, the handsome, candid, intelligent future duke was the answer to all her problems.   Their connection was immediate--two young people meant for each other. But their marriage was doomed the moment she decided she must have him, by fair means or foul, and when Camden discovered her deceit, all happiness perished.

 

Now Gigi wants a divorce. Camden returns from America with an audacious proposal: give him an heir and he'll grant her request. But the overwhelming pleasure of their marriage bed soon makes it apparent that the enterprise is fraught with emotional peril.  In an atmosphere thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, they must decide between safeguarding their hearts or rising above the mistakes of the past and forging a new life together. 


This tale of estranged lovers reuniting under the most strenuous of circumstances will sweep you away to the energy and opulence of late Victorian England and Gilded Age New York.
