In that book, Jemma had recently returned from nine years of self-imposed exile in France where she was rumored to have run rampant. These characters were first introduced in book one of the series. This is book five of the Desperate Duchesses series and it is about Jemma and Elijah, Duchess and Duke of Beaumont. Worth a credit? Yes, it's a 'must have' for us historical/romance lovers - but please try not to miss the whole series. It also gives us an insight of London long ago. It's got romance, passion, fun, great characters but it's sad and very touching too. This, in my opinion, is the best in the series so far as it focuses mainly on the two main characters who deeply love each other but, because of outside influences, their relationship never runs smoothly. She thinks she knows him but there is a lot that she's unaware of but she's willing to woo him back and he's desperate to oblige her. The plot of this one is - weeks after they marry Jemma catches Elijah bent over his desk with his mistress, so she flees to France for 9 years until he summons her back because he needs an heir. I love E.J.'s books and they are an automatic download for me, this has been a great series - but, to get the most out of them, then it's best to listen to them in order. A TOUCHING & PASSIONATE ROMANCE IN GEORGIAN LONDON
