After spending countless hours memorizing both traditional and simplified Chinese characters, perfecting her tones, and practicing her speaking with any Chinese native she could find, Ashley successfully graduated with a degree in Mandarin Chinese. Then she discovered writing romances was as much fun as reading them, and her Chinese capabilities have never been the same. When she isn't writing, Ashley stays busy chasing around her two young daughters, attempting to do housework, and hiking in the beautiful foothills of Colorado.
After three years of ignoring her, Philip Burgess, the Duke of Rutherford, realizes he wants his wife, Charlotte, back. The problem is that Charlotte doesn’t seem to want to Phillip back, as evidenced by her scandalous behavior and repeated requests for a divorce. Of course, when Phillip finally does offer to grant Charlotte the divorce she so desperately desires, she is somewhat suspicious, especially since the offer comes with a condition. Phillip wants Charlotte to “teach” him how to be a better husband, supposedly so that he can successfully court his former fiancée, Lady Joanna Grey. What Charlotte doesn’t know is that the lessons are really a ruse, a way for Phillip to win back the only woman he truly loves: his wife. With its addictive combination of richly nuanced characters, elegant writing spiced with a soupçon of wicked wit, and abundance of sizzling sexual chemistry, March’s exceptional debut is literary gold. --John Charles
