Not Quite A Wife-Mary Jo Putney

Marry in haste, repent at leisure. James, Lord Kirkland, owns a shipping fleet, half a London gaming house, and is a ruthlessly effective spymaster. He is seldom self-indulgent. . .except when it comes to the gentle, indomitable beauty who was once his wife.

Laurel Herbert gave James her heart as an innocent young girl--until she saw him perform an act of shocking violence before her very eyes. That night she left her husband, and he let her go without a word of protest.

Now, ten years later, a chance encounter turns passionate, with consequences that cannot be ignored. But as they try to rebuild what was broken, they must face common enemies and a very uncommon love. . 


I enjoyed this book. I am a huge Mary Jo Putney fan and she did not disappoint. I love a story that's characters really allow you to envision them as real people instead of just characters on the pages of a book. The story was warm and inviting.
