Fake It Till You Rake It — Jennifer Seasons

A Little Tale of Grand Gestures and Love. A hot cup of tea spiced with rum kind of book. ARC review Lady Hetty doesn't expect to spend her honeymoon alone. Or the entire first year of her marriage. Yet alone she is, her brand new husband dispatched to the Continent on sensitive Crown work the moment they exchange their vows. Gone in the fastest of flashes, though Luke had promised his retirement. Their wedding night? Never happened. And her heart? It didn't weep at his absence. Why, it's been so long that Hetty struggles to recall the exact shade of Luke's eyes and the reason she was so eager to marry him to begin with. Goodness, she barely remembers him at all! When he comes home, he'll not find the warm, loving bride he left behind. Oh no, when her husband returns, he shall feel her frosty indifference-and none of the love she still harbors for him. His last mission for the British Home Office finally complete, Lord Luke Wright returns home to pick up where he left off with Hetty, determined to seal their marriage with a night of sizzling, scorching passion. Only it's not so easy, Luke discovers, when his bride-his sweet Hetty-is a frigid block of ice and less than welcoming. But Luke isn't deterred. He knows the soft, warm woman hiding behind the icy glances and cold shoulder, understands her tender heart. He's determined to thaw her with charm and romance, degree by degree. It will take all his skill, everything he's got to make his bride swoon for him once again-and Luke is up to the task. To reclaim Hetty's heart, he must take it from her like a rake.
