Summary
Jason, Earl of Coventry, needs to discreetly locate his unwanted and abandoned bride among London society to request an annulment. Too bad he can't remember what she looks like because he was blind drunk at his arranged wedding and hasn't see her since.
Newly arrived from the country for the Season, Lady Olivia is appalled to discover that her own husband Lord Coventry doesn't even recognize her. She's not about to tell the arrogant arse she his wife. Instead, she flirts with him by night and has her modiste send her mounting bills to him by day.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, except Lady Olivia finds her husband nearly irresistible.

Exaggeratedly painful
I am quite conflicted. 😐 I listened to the end. The story stirred great emotion in me. But this is one of the first love stories I’ve listened to where the hero (ha!) has absolutely no redeeming features. The heroine could have been a magnificent character but instead allows herself to be bullied and walked over from page 1. Her response to her husband on the surface seems admirable but you just know she’s going to let him take over her life. Why not return to Italy? Make him chase her! Why wait for the season she hates to end?! And the little addition of a dastardly cousin was totally fabricated although she responded with her normal lack of character as did our hero except right at the end. The narration almost had me putting the book down right at the start but she sort of evened out. Direction was seriously lacking though. We are not a group of five year olds at story hour. Much editing of story and narration required.🥲

Stupid and Frustrating
There are two stories, just as you think you have come to an end; a random plot starts.
I can't say I like any of the characters. The heroine allows herself to be treated as "Non Person", while she sits around making plans, saying things that she will never do. I hate him, I never wish to see him again, I will not go out with him and so on. The hero prances about being drunk, obnoxious, rude and a bully. who belives all he has to do is "TURN ON HIS CHARM", for women to fall down and kiss his feet. As for the author, she either does know what a "Rake" is meant to behave like or can't make up her mind. The heroine's so called best friend drops her in it, despite knowing her problems. Maybe knowing how "wishy washy" she is, it is not worth the bother giving support. The narrator obviously doesn't like lawyers as she makes them sound slimy.
