James and Viola didn't expect to be married to one another. In fact, James was engaged to Viola's friend. But one drunken mistake (James's) and one all-to-understood-overhearing (Viola's) later and the two are married and then separated faster than you can say lickety-split.For seven years, Viola has traveled the world. Both she and James have heard rumors of the romances of the other. And now they'll have to face those rumors, and each other, head on because James's uncle, the Earl of Ellsworth has died, and has left strict instructions that James and Viola must follow in order to inherit his estate since the bulk of it is not entailed and the earl was free to leave it to whomever he wants. At least according to his firm of lawyers.
This book gets us to care about Viola and James and shows us a lot of growth out of each. Along with the help with our Lady Travelers who are the ones overseeing whether or not Viola and James stick to the terms of the will. I didn't love that there were a couple of Big Misunderstandings at the end; they could have been done without, but it was overall a nice read.
Four stars
