A shy heiress and a well-known rake face a scandal-forced marriage
that might be true love in the latest irresistible romance from the
national bestselling author of Marry in Haste.
Shy young heiress, Lady Lily Rutherford, is in no hurry to marry. She
dreams of true love and a real courtship. But when disaster strikes, she
finds herself facing a scandal-forced marriage to her rescuer, Edward
Galbraith, a well known rake.
Despite his reputation Lily is drawn to the handsome Galbraith. In the
gamble of her life, she agrees to marry him, hoping to turn a convenient
marriage into a love match.
As heir to a title, Galbraith knows he must wed, so a convenient
marriage suits him perfectly. But there is a darkness in his past, and
secrets he refuses to share with his tender-hearted young bride. All
Lily's efforts to get close to him fall on stony ground, and in
desperation she retreats to his childhood home--the place he's avoided
for nearly a decade.
Must Lily reconcile herself to a marriage without love? Or will
Galbraith realize that this warm-hearted, loving girl is the key to
healing the wounds of his past--and his heart?
