Publisher's Note
After being caught in a compromising position and forced to marry, the resentful Dominick abandons young Anne...Years later, Dominick returns to find a woman of beauty and strength. Both are put to the test as scandal builds around his past.

Industry reviews
Compromised, married, and abruptly abandoned, Anne St. Georges spends the next four years hating her errant husband, Dominick, and trying to get on with her life. But when Dom returns to Waverly Hall for his father's untimely funeral, old passions resurface, and Anne and Dom are forced to face a past that holds secrets they had never imagined. Gothically dark and filled with hot, ungentle sex, this page-turner is typical of much of Joyce's (The Game, Avon, 1994) work. While readers may like the intriguing premise and plot twists, they may also be put off by the hero's near-rape of the heroine and the leaden dialog and uneven writing. [Joyce lives in New York City.]
Adams 

Anne St. Georges may be Marchioness of Waverly, Countess of Campton and Highglow, Baroness of Feldstone, Viscountess of Lyons and one day Duchess of Rutherford but she is not happy. Four years earlier, Dominick St. Georges compromised her in a garden, married her and then left his unconsummated marriage to travel, raise horses and entertain assorted mistresses. Anne, derided as an American adventuress and shunned by society, has lived a quiet life managing her husband's estate and making friends with his grandfather, the powerful Duke of Rutherford, who actually engineered the match. When Dom returns home for his father's funeral, he sees how well Anne has developed and naturally decides to stay. Will she have him? With interminable heaving of her (small) breasts, Joyce's heroine vacillates passionately and unendingly. Someone is understandably trying to kill her. Could it be Dom? Or perhaps the beautiful, buxom Felicity, whom Dom jilted? Or Felicity's brother Patrick, who supposedly loves Anne but is in the throes of an emotional crisis? And who is trying to frame Dom for the murder of his father's male lover? This heavy-handed, sexual melodrama set in Victorian England is weighted down by a supposedly sensible heroine who is in fact perpetually overwrought and denser than a hedge. (Oct.)

This book has plenty of shelfwear - spine creasing, rubbing and wear - like you would find at a used book store.  The original reader must have laid it down flat too many times.  The book is broke in, but it must have been a pretty good story.
