  <description><![CDATA[Love has designs of its own.<br/>To all of London society, Lord and Lady Tremaine had the ideal arrangement: a marriage based on civility, courteousness, and freedom;by all accounts, a perfect marriage. The reason? For the last ten years, husband and wife have resided on separate continents. <br/><br/>But once upon a time, things were quite different for the Tremaines.<br/>When Gigi Rowland first laid eyes on Camden Saybrook, the attraction was immediate and overwhelming. But what began in a spark of passion ended in betrayal the morning after their wedding and now Gigi wants to be free to marry again. When Camden returns from America with an outrageous demand in exchange for her freedom, Gigi's decision will have consequences she never imagined, as secrets are exposed, desire is rekindled and one of London's most admired couples must either fall in love all over again or let each other go forever.]]></description>

It's the story of a married couple that has lived apart for 10 years, and when the wife wants to get a divorce, her husband says he will grant it if she gives him an heir (this is 1893 England).

    <body><![CDATA[Overall, this book was entertaining enough to keep going. I did like the format. The book alternates between the past and the present. At first, it threw me off guard before I haven't seen an author do that before, but as the story progressed, I actually thought it was a good idea.

    <![CDATA[Love has designs of its own.<br/>To all of London society, Lord and Lady Tremaine had the ideal arrangement: a marriage based on civility, courteousness, and freedom;by all accounts, a perfect marriage. The reason? For the last ten years, husband and wife have resided on separate continents. <br/><br/>But once upon a time, things were quite different for the Tremaines.<br/>When Gigi Rowland first laid eyes on Camden Saybrook, the attraction was immediate and overwhelming. But what began in a spark of passion ended in betrayal the morning after their wedding and now Gigi wants to be free to marry again. When Camden returns from America with an outrageous demand in exchange for her freedom, Gigi's decision will have consequences she never imagined, as secrets are exposed, desire is rekindled and one of London's most admired couples must either fall in love all over again or let each other go forever.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Loved this book.  Its a love or hate it kind of book because the main characters are not completely faithful to eachother and this is apparently a big no no in romance.  Doesn't bother me and the story and feelings it evoked were enough to classify it as romance for me.  I read a lot of romance but ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80079905">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[To all of London society, Lord and Lady Tremaine had the ideal arrangement: a marriage based on civility, courteousness, freedom—and living on separate continents.<br/><br/>But once upon a time, things were quite different for the Tremaines…When Gigi Rowland first laid eyes on Camden Saybrook, Lord Tremaine, the attraction was immediate and overwhelming: she simply had to have him. But what began in a spark of passion ended in betrayal the morning after their wedding—and Gigi wants to be free to marry again. Now Camden has returned from America with an outrageous demand—an heir—in exchange for Gigi’s freedom.<br/><br/>Gigi’s decision will have consequences she never imagined, as secrets are exposed, desire is rekindled—and one of London’s most admired couples must either fall in love all over again…or let each other go forever.]]>
