This book overlaps with the naked baron. 

Ian and Nell have been estranged for a decade. They married young and in love but had a falling out after a miscarriage. They’ve lived apart ever since. 

They find themselves surprised to be at a house party together - and forced into the same room. Their devious hosts insist there are no other rooms. They are forced to confront their pasts. 

It’s a pretty shallow story even for a novella. They dance around each other for a bit, continuing all sorts of misunderstandings. Lust brings them back together. They finally have one simple conversation and wipe away a lost decade. Instead of feeling like some kind of romantic triumph, it just feels sad that they wasted a decade on such basic misconceptions.
