Publisher Description
The ex-duchess of Monthwaite had her life ruined by her now ex-husband—now she has no choice but to face him in order to clear her name of wrongful accusations.
Isabelle Lockwood was a duchess, until her husband of only a few months wrongfully divorced her for adultery. Since then she's been a pariah, living in anonymous exile to escape the prying eyes and wagging tongues of the town. More than anything, Isabelle longs for a family of her own, and so has to marry again. But society is ruthlessly unforgiving. To clear her name, Isabelle must face down her past—and the man who broke her heart and ruined her completely.
Marshall Lockwood, Duke of Monthwaite, was blindsided by his young bride's infidelity. After the divorce Marshall licked his wounds, throwing himself into his botanical studies to forget his disastrous marriage. Now his former wife is back in town, as beautiful and enticing as he remembers. As the Season throws them together again, Marshall can't shake the feeling that Isabelle might not be the adulteress he took her for.

Once a Duchess
This is one of the most unusual stories I have read. It has all the elements of a fairy tale the wicked mother, the beautiful wife hated by her mother in law and the handsome Duke.
How they were divorced was released slowly throughout the book. Three years after the divorce a chance situation bring the Duke and his ex wife back together and allows them the chances they never had during their brief but passionate marriage. The story goes through many twists and turns until the full sordid actions of the Dukes mother are revealed.
A really great story well worth reading; the very first I have ever read involving a divorce and the consequences for the previously married pair.
Enjoyed
