However, when her secret is threatened to be exposed, Emma is forced to open her heart―and her home―to a total stranger: her husband…
Richard Mansfield, Earl of Asbury, is all too familiar with danger. As a matter of fact, it is hard on his heels when he returns to England. Still, even he is shocked to learn of his wife's scandalous double life as an artist. But once he sees the vibrant grown woman she has become―so passionate, so strong, and so alluring―his undeniable attraction to Emma stuns him. Suddenly Richard is determined to turn their sham of a marriage into a true and lasting love. But how exactly does a gentleman seduce his own wife?

From Booklist
The last place Richard Mansfield, Earl of Asbury, expects to find his wife, Emma, is in a house of harlots; then again, it has been 12 years since Richard set eyes on Emma. The last person Emma expects to run into in London’s most notorious brothel is her husband, Richard, especially since encountering him now threatens to ruin her life, which is already spiraling out of control. What Richard doesn’t know is that Emma is being blackmailed by the Earl of Waverly, who possesses a very “revealing” self-portrait painted by Emma, who will do anything to keep her identity as England’s most scandalous artist a secret. But Richard is equally determined not only to find out exactly what passionate secrets his wife is keeping, but also to win his way back into her life. In her second captivating historical romance, Clare turns up the sensual heat with a sizzling, sexy tale of a husband and wife engaged in a seductive battle of wits that proves to be splendidly entertaining. --John Charles

Excerpt © All Rights Reserved.
Richard watched Emma toss pieces of bread into the pond. A gaggle of geese and two pairs of swans swam forward to grab them before they sank to the bottom. A breeze ticked at her hair, lifting it in its cool embrace. She pulled her lace shawl up around her shoulders and looked skyward. He did, too.
Storm clouds were rolling in. Fast. When she stood, the birds honked at her sudden movement and swam away. Emma still hadn't noticed him watching her, standing beside a large birch tree not more than a dozen feet away. Tying her wrapper at her breast, she gathered up the papers she'd been sketching on.
This morning as he'd shaved, he had come to the conclusion that he would court his wife.
When they were younger, she had been captivated by his every word, alarming as that had been for a young man forced to spend company with a child-like girl. Surely, given time, she'd find him charming again.
Struggling with her hat, she finally let the wind have it. The straw rim was tugged clear off her head with a violent gust and lay wrapped about her neck still tied by the pink satin ribbon. Head back, she looked to the sky. The sun was quickly disappearing behind dark storm clouds. An electric charge hummed in the air as darkness enshrouded the countryside moments later.
He stepped forward, keeping one hand on the rim of his hat. The wind carried away the words he used to call to her attention, so he walked toward her and turned her around to face him. She let out a surprised squeal as he spun her around.
"We need to find shelter!" He had to yell the words so they weren't lost in the howl of the wind.
She turned away with a scowl. Clutching her elbow, he pulled her along the dirt path with him. She yanked free after a few steps.
"You're making me lose my things."
A pencil tumbled from between her papers, so he knelt down and picked it up, wiping the mud away on the sleeve of his coat.
"My only concern is getting us to shelter before the storm soaks us both through."
A crack of thunder boomed in the next instant and a downpour of rain let loose from the heavens. He looked skyward in pure exasperation. Someone up there was laughing at his paltry attempts to court his wife.
It was at least a half hour's walk to the manor in better weather. As it was, the dirt paths would fill with mud and be too slippery for his wife to transverse in her mass of skirts.
Grasping Emma's hand, threading their fingers together, he turned and yelled over the storm. "Pick up your skirts. We'll make a run for my father's old hunting cottage."
She didn't hesitate to follow his lead this time, all her art things tucked against her bosom and held by one arm.
Finally making the front porch of the cottage, he lifted the latch and pushed the door open. Both of them stood for a moment trying to catch their breath.
"Why are we stopping here?"
"Because it'll be a mudslide over the paths to the main house."
She looked at him, frustrated at having been caught in the rain--with him. It was an expression he was quickly getting used to seeing. He bet his finest cravat pin that she was annoyed that her plan to escape him this morning hadn't been successful.
She untied her shawl and shook some of the water from it in the open doorway with her free hand, not once meeting his gaze as she did so. "I suppose we'll only stay long enough to wait out the storm."
Taking his hat off, he wiped the water from the top and brim and set it on the worktable to dry.
"Come inside and close the door. I'll start a fire so we can dry out our clothes."
"The storm will leave as fast as it arrived. We'll be on our way shortly."
Her voice wavered. Was his wife nervous to be in his company alone? Interesting that she was shy now when she'd given him such bold words last night. He didn't want meek and timid. He wanted fiery and passionate.
He threw some peat into the old woodstove, struck a flint, and lit the moss.
The wind was picking up outdoors, sweeping away any warmth the fire gave off. "Come inside, Emma. We'll probably be here another hour."
"I certainly hope not."
He clenched his fists at his sides. Her penchant for disdain needed to stop. His company couldn't be that detestable.
"It won't be the end of the world to spend an hour in my company," he snapped.
She twirled around and finally looked at him. It was on the edge of his tongue to say she'd not escape him now and certainly not again this evening, but something held him back. They were stuck with each other for an indeterminable amount of time. He had no plans to spend that time fighting. He'd rather spend his time seducing and cajoling her into a better disposition.
Loose strands of wet hair ran over her temple and stuck to the sides of her cheeks. Her lips trembled from the cold and were tinged with a slight blue. She was shivering. Knowing she'd hesitate if he asked her to come closer, he walked toward her, relieved her of her art things, and set them on the table. When he turned back to her, he reached out and released the first few hidden eyelets on her bodice.
She smacked his hands away. He grasped her fingers to stop her. They were so small in his hands, so soft against his roughness.
"I just want to keep you from getting a chill."
He released a few more of the tiny hooks before she stepped away from him, her hand slowly slid away from his so she could cover the swell of her bosom. He raised a brow, shrugged out of his coat, and draped it over the back of the chair near the fire.
"Pass me your shawl." He held out his hand and waited for the scrap of material.
She didn't object, nor did her eyes meet his again. She stuck her arm out as far as she could----so she wouldn't have to come closer to him, he assumed.
He took the wet mass of lace and spread it out on top of his coat. Of course he didn't stop there. It wouldn't do for his wound to start festering beneath wet, chilly layers of material. His vest came off next. His gaze locked with hers for a few seconds, daring her to tell him to stop. She pinched her lips together and gave him her back, her arms folded over her front and her hands rubbing over her arms to bring her some warmth.
"You can't undress here." Her voice was unsteady.
"Why not? It'll take less time to dry if you remove your clothes, too."
There was no mistaking his meaning. Yes, he wanted his wife naked. What sane man wouldn't? He was more than willing to do whatever was necessary to warm her, as well. The less they talked, the less they'd disagree on how the afternoon should unfold. And there were a great many things they could do that didn't involve talking.
"Absolutely not!"
He untied his neck cloth trying to fight the smile threatening to turn his lips up. He didn't think she'd appreciate him finding humor in this situation.
"Why not?"
"I'll not undress for you. To think you'd ask such a thing in the middle of the day when anyone can happen upon us."

Lisa Valdez's PASSION-like sex without the PASSION-like romance.
By OLT
While reading this book, I had the feeling that Tiffany Clare would be better off writing erotica. If she doesn't want to do that, she needs to beef up the storyline and the romance of her HRs, not just fill the pages with sex and more sex. Here we have hero Richard Mansfield, Earl of Asbury, who at 19 marries heroine Emma Halloway, 15 at the time. (Oh, ick! This wasn't a costermonger marrying a flower seller. He's peerage and she's at least gentry and they didn't usually marry at 15 in the 1800s.) So the night of the wedding, they consummate the marriage and next day he's off to see the world without so much as a goodbye and doesn't see or get in contact with Emma for 12 years. (That's right, 12 years!)
Fast forward 12 years and he's back and decides it's time to make an heir with said wife, who, fortunately for him, has grown into quite a looker. Now, in my world, a man that inconsiderate, selfish, insensitive, unfeeling, self-centered, uncaring, and just in general a huge jerk, would have to do some really, really big-time groveling before I'd open my legs for him. Not so our heroine. She's panting after him just days after he's back in England. And they're at it like over-sexed rabbits throughout the book. Supposedly he sets out to "woo" her but apparently "wooing" for him means talking dirty to her and having sex with her as often as possible.
Oh, yes, there is more to this story. H and h have secrets. Emma took up painting after Richard deserted her and anonymously sells enough to have saved up a goodly amount of money. The strange part is her choice of subject matter. It's nude females in erotic poses, two of them being paintings of herself. Richard's dirty little secret is the way he's been making his money, in the opium trade. And we have the mystery of someone who is out to kill Richard (in addition to me, as a reader) and Emma's problem that she may be outed as the painter of nudes. And to muddy up the storyline even more we have some ha-ha moments with the heroine's two sisters, who are staying with her at the time of the story.
All in all, I recommend this book only to those who like to read sex scenes and don't look for any romance in their HRs.

Lifeless characters, weird plot
By HI romance reader
I'm one of those people that looks at book covers for recommendations from romance authors that are sometimes displayed on the cover. When I saw this book and saw glowing recommendations by Lisa Kleypas and Anna Campbell for another book that this author had written, I decided to take a chance on this book, as I have read and enjoyed romance novels by both Kleypas and Campbell. After reading this book, I wonder if I was even reading the same book as Kleypas or Campbell. I'm really puzzled about all of the glowing reviews that this author's books have garnered.
I had a few problems with this book. The heroine Emma married the hero at age 15 (yuck). The hero Richard then spends the next 12 years traveling the world and deals in various businesses like opium trading. Not exactly hero-worthy actions, in my book. When they meet, there is passion but not much else. There is no chemistry that I detected between them, other than sexual energy. They don't spend much time getting to know each other. Emma wants to stay in the marriage because she wants a family, and they agree to divorce if she doesn't get pregnant in a few months. Emma and Richard then fall in love, although I can't imagine how when all they seem to do when they're together is paw at each other.
I really didn't care for Ms. Clare's style of writing. The book has a lot of run-on sentences, and a lot of things were left unexplained. Why did Richard's father choose a 15-year old for him to marry? How did Emma's friendship with the Duke of Vane start? Why did Richard wait 12 long years before trying to make the relationship with Emma work?
I picked up this book with high hopes for finding an exciting new historical romance author. Although this book isn't the worst romance that I have read, I can't recommend it either. I finished it only because I hated to waste the good money that I spent on buying it.

I shouldn't have bothered.
By SandyC
I really tried to finish this book, but couldn't. The writing was so bad that I couldn't put it aside in favor of what little plot there was. I'm no prude; if you want to read good erotica, pick up anything that Megan Hart has written! In this book the sex was boring, and way too detailed for my tastes in historical romances. I couldn't get past the fact that Richard had been in the opium business, and although he supposedly showed remorse for the lives he ruined, in the end the business was sold instead of dismantled (I skimmed to the end to make sure, for the purposes of this review). All in all, this book was aggravating rather than entertaining.
