==Book Description==
Felix Rivendale, the Marquess of Wrenworth, is The Ideal Gentleman, a man all men want to be and all women want to possess. Felix himself almost believes this golden image. But underneath is a damaged soul soothed only by public adulation.

Louisa Cantwell needs to marry well to support her sisters. She does not, however, want Lord Wrenworth—though he seems inexplicably interested in her. She mistrusts his outward perfection and the praise he garners everywhere he goes. But when he is the only man to propose at the end of the London season, she reluctantly accepts.

Louisa does not understand her husband's mysterious purposes, but she cannot deny the pleasure her body takes in his touch. Nor can she deny the pull this magnetic man exerts upon her. But does she dare to fall in love with a man so full of dark secrets, anyone of which could devastate her, if she were to get any closer?

'''Nora Roberts''' is known as "The Queen of Romance" with good reason: she is both prolific and generous with time and energy. Roberts has been lauded with many awards; her first was for ''The Heart's Victory'', which won the [[RITA|1983 Golden Medallion]] in the Contemporary Sensual Category. [[Nora Roberts]] was the first author inducted into the [[Romance Writers of America]] Hall of Fame. In 2007, her novel ''[[Angels Fall]]'' received the ''Quill Book of the Year Award'', an honor chosen by fans and readers.

Roberts famously started her writing career when a 1979 blizzard trapped her and her young sons indoors for an extended period of time. Her first novel, ''[[Irish Thoroughbred]]'', was published in 1981. She continued writing exclusively for the [[Harlequin|Harlequin/Silhouette lines]] until 1987, when she branched out into [[Single Title]].

Though Nora Roberts no longer writes for the [[Harlequin|Harlequin/Silhouette family]], her backlist titles remain in print and top sellers. Many of her books have been collected in a special group called [[Nora Roberts Language Of Love]]. She wrote one novel for the Harlequin [[Intrigue]] imprint. Roberts published 13 novels for the [[Silhouette Romance]] imprint.

Roberts also publishes futuristic suspense under the name [[J.D. Robb]].

Each year [[Romance Writers of America|Romance Writers of America]] (RWA) presents awards in various categories to the best romance fiction published in the previous calendar year. In 2021 the award was renamed to recognize the founder of RWA, Vivian Stephens. The Vivian Award is the highest honor a romance author can receive. Published authors, reviewers, bloggers, and others knowledgeable about the romance industry may apply to participate in the judging. The finalists are announced in late March. Awards are presented to the winners at RWA's Annual Conference held during the summer.

From 1990-2019, the award was called the RITA®, named after Rita Clay Estrada, the first president of RWA. Winners were presented with a gold statue. From its introduction in 1982 until 1989, the award was known as the Golden Medallion.
