Provocante by Madeline Hunter
3.0

Verity and Hawkeswell's story, a couple that is married but haven't seen each other since their wedding.

Verity run away right after the wedding ceremony, feeling betrayed and so justifying her actions. Hawkeswell is in dire financial straits and needs the dowry their marriage would bring in, but since Verity disappeared he hasn't received anything. Time passes and his efforts to find her prove fruitless, when they meet again unexpectedly.

I did not like Verity, from her assumptions and the blame she put on others without proof, to her insistence that "this is not the life she was supposed to have".

I also didn't particularly care for the resolution of Michael's disappearance, since it felt mostly unnecessary and the only merit it brought to the story was evidence of how good a husband Hawkeswell really was.

Next in the series comes Celia's story in [b:Sinful in Satin|7828772|Sinful in Satin (The Rarest Blooms #3)|Madeline Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388443674s/7828772.jpg|10885364].
