"Forced to marry an American heiress to save his family, Graeme Parr, Earl of Montclair, vowed their marriage would be in name only. Abigail Price thought handsome, aristocratic Graeme was her knight in shining armor, rescuing her from her overbearing father. But when she was spurned by her husband on their wedding night, Abigail fled home to New York. Now, years later, Abigail has returned. But this sophisticated, alluring woman is not the drab girl Graeme remembers. Appalled by her bold American ways but drawn to her beauty, Graeme follows her on a merry chase through London's elegant ballrooms to its dockside taverns--why is his wife back? What could she want of him now? Torn between desire and suspicion, Graeme fears that Abby, like her unprincipled father, has a devious plan to ruin him. But is Abigail's true desire Graeme's destruction...or winning his love at last?"-- Page [4] of cover.

3.5 stars. Graeme was more than a prig in the beginning, but eventually I warmed up to him. The lively cast of characters around our couple - Molly the fierce lady's maid and Lady Eugenia for one, enlivens the story further.
The “mystery” plot was typical of the genre - the villain is not surprising & also terribly convenient. An enjoyable romp nevertheless.
