Lorelei Grey, the countess of Kimpton, can't trust her husband. Not only did he exile her brother from England without a word to her, but, she's since learned he fathered his ex-mistress's unborn child. She had only one stipulation for their marriage...to treat her with respect.
Thorne Grey, the Earl of Kimpton, wants his wife, craves his wife. When she threatens to leave, he panics and offers to pay her to stay with him. He's bought himself two weeks and prays it's enough time to find her missing brother and prove he's not the scoundrel she believes. Neither is able to ignore the explosive passion between them, but in their search for her brother, they encounter a threat that could not only destroy their relationship, but their very lives.
