An Unexpected Pursuit

A cursed man recently bound for the gallows, Tristan St. Daine had been showered with nothing but luck: the woman he’d thought he had slain wasn’t dead, plus he now had a title and a wife! Knowing the pain of having lost Chelsea once, Tristan fears nothing so much as losing her again. She could be hurt, or sicken-or worse yet, die!-all things he is not prepared to deal with. To protect himself from the ultimate pain, he withdraws, becoming awkward, distant, and cold. Refusing to allow himself to get close to Chelsea again, Tristan is determined to keep his beautiful new wife at a fair arms length … but she, as he soon discovers, dreams of other things.

Lady Chelsea St. Daine wants a real marriage, a large and loving family, and to continue the romance begun with the handsome pirate she had known only as Tristan Dane aboard her father’s ship. Now that he is her husband, Chelsea fully intends her marriage to Tristan be a real one, and despite his stubborn attempts to the contrary, she will do what she must to make it so … even if it means she must pursue her husband relentlessly until he can do nothing but give in. Thus begins a wife’s most deliberate though unexpected pursuit of her husband, for Chelsea wants nothing more than to help Tristan become once more the daringly witty, dashingly handsome, and roguishly charming man he used to be–the man she first fell in love with.
