The Pleasure of Her Kiss - The Gentleman Rogues, #1

A WEDDING NIGHT DEFERRED Jared Westbrooke, the dashing and roguish Earl of Hawkesly, returns after two years to claim the exquisite stranger he married then left to fend for herself, only to find that Lady Kathryn doesn't recognize him and is far from the docile bride he expected. His adventures on the high seas in the secret service of Her Majesty did little to prepare him for the strong-willed and independent woman who has been managing his estates and affairs in his absence, challenging his expectations of marital life. A WIFE'S SEDUCTION Kate, outraged by her husband's abrupt return, has thrived in his absence, taking charge of his rural estate and navigating his business with a firm hand, and she's not ready to let him waltz back into her life, especially not into their marital bed.
However, as she falls for his charms, she struggles with revealing her illegal efforts to aid victims of the Irish potato famine, a revelation that puts Jared at a crossroads between his duty and his heart, threatening their lives and love.
