Sweet Treason: The Traitor Bride Richard Durrant, Earl of Heywood, knew well the woes of marriage. But as a spy, he would do anything to smoke out traitors to Queen Elizabeth--even marry a woman suspected of treason! Try as Lady Seraphina might to play the innocent wife, he would steel himself--and his heart--to her charms! After the death of her brutal husband, Lady Seraphina never wanted to remarry. She was aghast at Richard's proposal ... but then she met him and saw the longing in his eyes. Yet when they arrived at Court, Seraphina saw that Richard's love came with danger attached! Would they escape a villain's plot in time to finally declare their love? The Deserted Bride: Bess was a girl when she first saw her husband on their wedding day. Andrew, Earl of Exford, left after the ceremony, and as Bess blossomed into a lovely woman, she reveled in the freedom afforded by her absent spouse. Yet she knew the day would come when she would come face-to-face with her long-estranged husband.... On the day of his return, Drew found himself speechless at his wife's heart-stopping beauty and charm. Could it be that this once awkward girl was the bride he had deserted so long ago? Furthermore, could she ever forgive his cruel neglect and return his love?

For your information, not judgment.

Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
