520    #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens 
       returns to the Cynsters's next generation with an 
       evocative tale of two people striving to overcome unusual 
       hurdles in order to claim true love.  A nobleman wedded to
       the lady he loves strives to overwrite five years of 
       masterful pretense and open his wife's eyes to the fact 
       that he loves her as much as she loves him.  Lord Devlin 
       Cader, Earl of Alverton, married Therese Cynster five 
       years ago. What he didn't tell her then and has 
       assiduously hidden ever since-for what seemed excellent 
       reasons at the time-is that he loves her every bit as much
       as she loves him.  For her own misguided reasons, Therese 
       had decided that the adage that Cynsters always marry for 
       love did not necessarily mean said Cynsters were loved in 
       return. She accepted that was usually so, but she believed
       she would never be loved for herself. Consequently, after 
       falling irrevocably in love with Devlin, when he made it 
       plain he didn't love her yet wanted her to wife, she 
       accepted the half love-match he offered, and once they 
       were wed, set about organizing to make their marriage the 
       very best it could be.  Now, five years later, they are an
       established couple within the haut ton, have three young 
       children, and Devlin is making a name for himself in 
       business and political circles. There's only one problem: 
       Devlin is no longer content with the half love-match he 
       himself engineered. No fool, he sees and comprehends what 
       the craven act of denying his love is costing both him and
       Therese and feels compelled to rectify his fault. He wants
       for them what all Therese's married cousins enjoy-the rich
       and myriad benefits of marriages based on acknowledged 
       mutual love.  Love, he's discovered, is too powerful a 
       force to deny, leaving him wrestling with the conundrum of
       finding a way to convincingly reveal to Therese that he 
       loves her without wrecking everything-especially the 
       mutual trust-they've built over the past five years.
