Murderer, convict, opium-eater…Jessie Braddock's husband has come home.

Jessie's stepfather, wanting to exploit the estate, had brutalized her into marrying his nephew by proxy. She soon realizes Ryder is far from the criminal she’d imagined, but
his prison years have left him with a hardened edge and a ravenous appetite for sexual pleasures. Now the only thing in danger is her heart.

A brief stay in hell on earth can make a man bitter, a long one can turn him merciless.

The privilege of his title has not shielded Ryder Braddock from scheming relatives. Falsely accused in the slaying
of a prostitute, Viscount Blackwood is made to disappear into England's infamous prison system and condemned to years of hard labor. For nefarious reasons, opium is smuggled to him behind bars, and he develops a craving for it.

Upon gaining his freedom, Ryder returns to his estate and learns he is wed to an intoxicating beauty…who also happens to be a complete stranger. Duped into marriage while in a narcotic stupor, he means to see his wife
pay for her trickery. He threatens her with arrest, but first he intends to enjoy his conjugal rights. Ryder soon finds his need for his wife is insatiable.
