Summary

A proper American lady enters into a duel of hearts with a dashing English rake in this passionate Regency romance from the USA Today–bestselling author.“I consider Elizabeth Thornton a major find.” —New York Times–bestselling author Mary BaloghBriony Langland had no use for the superficial games of the ton. She did, however, have choice words for London's most notorious rake when she caught him dallying with his flavor of the moment in her uncle's library. She never thought that her bold set-down would only inspire his lordship to employ his considerable charms to awaken her own deepest passions.Hugh Montgomery, Marques of Ravensworth, has never met a woman he couldn't seduce and just as easily forget. But Briony, so self-possessed, so scrupulous, so determined to thwart him at every turn, has awakened something deep inside his cold, self-serving heart—a desire to experience love. His lordship has a few lessons to learn in the art of sweet persuasion . . . and Briony may be just the woman to teach him.

    After her heartbreaking first Season, Elizabeth Ashling resolved to avoid London Society - and matrimony - completely. However, family obligations mean that Elizabeth is thrust back into society where she faces an overzealous poet, a bitter rival and, most awkwardly, the man who jilted her three years before.
Sir Lucius Radstock, dry, dashing and as devoted to horses as Elizabeth herself, is a welcome diversion. But as their acquaintance deepens, Elizabeth begins to suspect she may have judged too hastily. Although surely her second Season cannot rival the misfortunes of the first .

    INTRODUCTION: 
 
God wants your marriage to succeed and prosper, and He has given you the blueprint to make your family's happiness possible! The Bible contains rock-solid principles upon which you can build a strong marriage, home, and family. 
 
11 Corinthians 2:14 
‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.’’ 
 
Your marriage has an enemy. The enemy who wants to steal kill and destroy wants to devour your marriage.  The victorious family is the family that always record victory in their home and marriage. The attack of the enemy will not scatter them. 
 
Here is the truth that most people do not like to admit: marriage is hard. It is incredibly hard. Spending your life and time forever with someone who is different from you is not quite the walk in the park. It has its ups and downs, its highs and lows. There is disagreement, then agreement. There is breaking, then making, but when handled right, it is incredibly beautiful. 
 
In this mini-book, I will be talking about sex in marriage. In my years of experience as a pastor, I have found out that some believers are more spiritual about this subject because their focus is in making heaven. 
 
I want you to know that God Himself commanded sex between married couples.
