A taciturn soldier and a social butterfly - is the perfect home worth
the price of a marriage of inconvenience?
Blake Montague's draconian temper and clever mind belong on the
Continent, decoding French communications. Instead, as the youngest son
of a baron, he's terrorizing London ballrooms in search of a wife who
will buy the commission he can't afford.
Jocelyn Carrington, after years of smiling through the pain inflicted by
an uncaring family, has just inherited a fortune. Now she can buy the
special home with an aviary her eccentric younger brother needs - but
Blake Montague's family owns it. They offer the house if she will marry
their son and prevent him from marching off to war. Except Blake will
use her dowry to buy his commission.
How can Jocelyn gain the home of her dreams while keeping alive a
courageous man with a bad habit of attracting trouble? Can Blake believe
the beautiful Jocelyn might actually free him from his family's
manipulations? Can this wary, cynical pair open their hearts to trust in
the power of love?
