At only seventeen, I left the sheltered life at the convent and married a much older Englishman. I was scared, but the idea of a life filled with parties, friends, and all the things I'd been denied seduced me. My parents had arranged this marriage for me, and how wrong could they be? Nothing turned out the way I had fantasized. Day by day, my dreams fail to materialize. No parties, no lavish trips to exotic places, and worst of all, no love. And one day, I engaged on an innocent task: planting roses for my garden, not imagining I would find love amid the thorns...and that love could come in unusual ways. And even married to an abusive and estranged husband, I make up my mind to find passion and claim it. I'm done being the good girl. My name is Chloe de la Fleur and this is my story. If you are a fan of Fifty Shades of Grey and authors Helen Hardt and Barbara Freethy, you'll love this scandalous, refreshing, and unusual love story, which involves three alpha Italian knights who will do anything for their baroness--oops, their Principessa.
