Married to the Viscount by Sabrina Jeffries 2004
Description from inside book:
"Abigail Mercer was breathless with anticipation at being reunited with Spencer Law, whom she met once and later married by proxy. But now the dashing Viscount Ravenswood denies all knowledge of their union! Far too many witnesses have made it impossible for the secretive Spencer to reject his "bride" without causing a scandal. So he has proposed a marriage in-name-only until they can locate his mysteriously absent younger brother - who is responsible for everything! - and untangle this messy affair. Abigail is incensed, irate...and irresistibly attracted to this handsome, infuriating man who hides his smoldering passion behind a proper exterior. So the lady will agree to his terms on one condition: Spencer must seal their bargain with a kiss - one deep, lingering, unforgettable kiss meant to stoke the sensuous flames of love...one kiss to melt the icy, resisting heart of the only husband Abigail has ever desired."
This book, while enjoyable, is not one of Sabrina Jeffries' best. The plot is good enough, and the characters are not cardboard cut-outs, but there just wasn't very much from this book that stayed with me. Abigail is supposedly half Native American - this is introduced but then she does very little with it, which was a bit dissapointing. Spencer is a good enough hero - and I like when the heroes of books are actually involved in politics - but I'm not really sure his "dark secret" is dark enough to be the basis for the conflict in the book. Anyway, it's a good enough read, and enjoyable.
