NYT and USA Today best-selling author!
He's a tradesman; she's a marchioness. They have only one thing in
common....
Having married once out of desperation, the virgin widow Lady Belden has
no intention of giving up her independence - until her long-lost
siblings arrive on her doorstep. By law their guardianship belongs to
the power-hungry marquess of Belden, but Bell will defy law and society
to keep her newly reunited family together.
Formidable in trade, unlucky in love, Lord Quentin Hoyt has eyed Lady
Bell from afar - not just because she possesses the family fortune but
because she's the most desirable woman he's ever met. Now that the
widowed Bell is ripe for seduction, the shrewd Scotsman is prepared to
negotiate the business merger of his lifetime. Who will be the victor
when the imperial Lady Bell engages the clever Lord Quentin in a battle
of wits over life, lust, and love?
