A marriage born of passion and scandal turns into something more from
the bestselling author of Marry in Secret.
When a duke denied . . .
The proud and arrogant Duke of Everingham is determined to secure a
marriage of convenience with heiress, Lady Georgiana Rutherford. He's
the biggest prize on the London marriage mart, pursued by young
unmarried ladies and their match-making mamas, as well as married women
with a wandering eye. He can have any woman he wants. Or so he thinks. .
.
**...Hunts an independent lady . . .
**
Lady Georgiana Rutherford--irreverent and unconventional--has no plans
to marry. Having grown up poor, Lady George has no intention of giving
up her fortune to become dependent on the dubious and unreliable
goodwill of a man. Especially a man as insufferable as the Duke of
Everingham, whose kisses stirs unwelcome and unsettling emotions . . .
**...Sparks are sure to fly
**
The more she defies him, the more the duke wants her, until an argument
at a ball spirals into a passionate embrace. Caught in a compromising
position, the duke announces their betrothal. George is furious and when
gossip claims she deliberately entrapped the duke--when she was the one
who was trapped--she marches down the aisle in a scarlet wedding dress.
But the unlikely bride and groom may have found love in the most
improbable of places--a marriage of convenience.
