Drummond Penhurst, Duke of Kittridge is a widower who loved and lost Gabriella now Lady St John more that twenty-five years ago. He never knew why Gabriella accepted the suit of Lord St John but since she is married, he has never asked.Drummond is the former leader of a group dubbed the Archangels who helped England by spying on the French during the wars with Bonaparte. Now the men are all retired and have decided opinions on how to treat and manage women.Drummond is informed that Lord St John is selling his wife because she is barren and Drummond decides to buy the woman he has always loved and teach her a lesson. After bringing her home he informs her that she is his property to do with as he chooses. Gabriella is a product of her times and a hateful husband so, she has little self-esteem and no knowledge of how beautiful love can be between a man and a woman he loves.The plot is good although improbable for anyone in the ton to have a "Wife Sale" however, it works for this story. I liked this book/novella, its a quick read and very enjoyable and funny, (Gabriella and Drummond are caught in a couple of situations that are very embarassing to her!) I've already started the next book in the series (there are 6).The price is right at $2.99 and I think it's worth it.  Enjoy - currently you can get My Lady Gambled for 0.99!
