  • Lady
  • Arianne
  • Dunne
  • went
  • along
  • with
  • her
  • brother's
  • rash
  • scheme
  • to
  • ensnare
  • her
  • a
  • rich
  • husband.
  • In
  • love
  • with
  • another
  • man,
  • she
  • sees
  • the
  • wealthy
  • marquis
  • as
  • merely
  • a
  • means
  • to
  • an
  • end. Garret
  • Spencer,
  • the
  • Marquis
  • of
  • Ravensford,
  • is
  • the
  • last
  • man
  • any
  • lady
  • would
  • seek
  • as
  • a
  • husband.
  • An
  • unrepentant
  • libertine
  • of
  • the
  • worst
  • sort,
  • he
  • has
  • sworn
  • off
  • marriage. Arianne's
  • husband
  • leaves
  • her
  • after
  • their
  • wedding
  • night,
  • furious
  • to
  • be
  • forced
  • to
  • marry
  • her
  • against
  • his
  • will. It
  • is
  • only
  • years
  • later
  • that
  • he
  • comes
  • back
  • for
  • her,
  • unable
  • to
  • forget
  • the
  • wife
  • he
  • abandoned
  • in
  • anger. Arianne
  • soon
  • finds
  • her
  • unsuitable
  • husband
  • perfect
  • for
  • her
  • until
  • deceit
  • from
  • the
  • past
  • threatens
  • her
  • happiness.
  • Their
  • new-found
  • love
  • is
  • then
  • tested
  • and
  • the
  • greatest
  • challenge
  • of
  • all
  • is
  • forgiving
  • one another.
