One scandal. One marriage. One very wild wife. She refuses to be tamed. He refuses to let go.
A Wildly Romantic Victorian Romance from Best Selling Author Emma V Leech
Miss Elspeth Cadogan has always felt like the odd one out in her riotously chaotic family. While her parents throw legendary parties and delight in mischief, Elspeth prefers books, quiet, and the sensible satisfaction of helping her friend Eliza run a charitable school for girls. She’s even considering becoming a teacher — until her life is upended by the most infuriating man in England.

Viscount Roxborough — known to his friends simply as “Dare” — has never met a wager he didn’t take or a scandal he didn’t accidentally start. Unfortunately, his crumbling estate and mountain of unpaid bills are no laughing matter. When his friends point out that sweet, shy Elspeth Cadogan comes with a dowry large enough to rescue his finances, Dare can’t deny the temptation.

But Elspeth is not tempted by him.
In fact, she loathes him on sight.
When charm fails, Dare resorts to desperate measures. A little scandal is easy enough to arrange… and before Elspeth knows what’s happened, she’s married to the most notorious libertine in the country.

If Dare expected a meek, docile wife, he’s made a catastrophic error.
Elspeth may have been tricked into marriage, but she refuses to be tricked into obedience. She’s learned from the wildest parents in England how to cause trouble — and she’s about to give her husband a masterclass.

He wanted her fortune.
She’ll make him earn her heart… if he survives her first.
