The Woes of Wooing a Wife in 12 Days (Coming Dec 26)

Eleanor Egerton, Viscountess Madeley, has spent two years alone in the countryside while her husband lives in London, ignoring her existence. He blames her for destroying his chance at true love—except she’s innocent. When Lord Madeley is thrown from his horse and deposited at her doorstep by his parents, severely injured and requiring the most mortifyingly intimate nursing care, Eleanor faces a choice: refuse him or play dutiful wife to a man who has publicly humiliated her. She chooses duty (and perhaps enjoys his discomfort just a little). After all, she’s leaving for good on Boxing Day to leave her humiliation behind and start anew. Twelve awkward days of bathing her husband’s bruised body, and she’ll finally be free.

Aubrey Egerton, Viscount Madeley, was forced to abandon the woman he loves and marry the daughter of an earl. When his beloved is chased out of the county by his betrothed, he punishes her by pretending she doesn’t exist. But now, twelve days before Christmas, he has discovered the terrible truth: his wife is innocent. The woman he loved had lied. Inconveniently, he’s currently bedridden and helpless, utterly dependent on the wife he’s wronged, who sees him naked twice daily with professional indifference. With only twelve days until Christmas—and Eleanor’s permanent departure—Aubrey must prove he’s changed. He needs to convince his wife he can be the husband she deserves. There’s just one problem: it’s rather difficult to woo your wife when you can’t walk, she’s already planning her escape, and she’s witnessed you in your most humiliating state.

Can a scoundrel win back his wife’s heart in twelve days of Christmas when he’s literally at her mercy? Or will this be one holiday miracle too impossible, even for the season of second chances?

He ignored her for two years. Now he has twelve days to win her back. And he can’t even get out of bed.
