Childhood friends all grown up
Now they must marry for convenience!
Giles Redmond, Earl of Revesby, is marrying childhood friend Laurel Knighton because it’s the only way to save his family fortune. Last time he saw her, she was an unconventional tomboy... Now she’s a beauty, but finding himself aroused by her is as baffling as it is surprising. Who would have thought such an infuriating, disobedient bride could be so tempting?
“Readers will enjoy the unique setting, the many twists and turns of the plot.”
—RT Book Reviews on Surrender to the Marquess
“From the first page, readers will be hooked by the suspense and romance of this pleasing tale... This is another keeper.”
—RT Book Reviews on The Many Sins of Cris De Feaux
