From Audible.com:

The toast of the town.... All London is at Julia Wentworth’s feet — and anything she desires is hers for the asking. But the glamorous leading lady guards a shocking secret: a mystery husband whom she does not know, dares not mention... and cannot love. For years Damon Savage has been searching for the stranger his parents wed him to without his consent, hoping to legally free himself from matrimony’s invisible chains. And he is astonished to discover his “bride” is none other than the exquisite lady he’d hoped to make his mistress! But though his wife by law, Julia will never truly be Damon’s — until he conquers her fears, his formidable rivals... and her proud, passionate, and independent heart.

My Review:

This story is one that can be enjoyed on audio as well as in book form.  Both and Julia and Damon are tied down by a marriage that they did not wish for, leaving them with strained familial relationships and deep fears  about the ability to control their own future.  Julia has her dream job and stars in plays at the best theater company in town, but as long as she is on stage she seems unfit to be a Duke's wife.  Damon has rescued his family's estate from ruins and has lived his life carefully to avoid the mistakes made by his father.  But he finds himself in a situation where he must choose between his mistress, who wants to be his wife, and his wife, who he wanted to be his mistress.

I really enjoyed this audio.  The plot is very unique and I really didn't know what to expect as the story progressed.  Though the conflict wrapped up in a pretty little bow, it was very difficult getting there.  The characters seemed so real, not quite perfect and a bit selfish at times.  It took a while for them to learn from their mistakes but I enjoyed the journey.  Ms. Landor was not my favorite narrator but she was good enough for me to enjoy the story.  I would consider listening to another book narrated by her though.  I'm quite curious about the other characters and would love to read more of this series.  If you like a good historical romance or you want to read a premise that hasn't been overdone, give this one a try.
