After years of abuse at the hands of her mother, Cordelia
Avery knows the only way out is marriage to the perfect
man. A man who will allow her all the freedom she has
ever
craved. And she has the perfect man picked out. The
scandalous Marquess of Haversham might not be perfect to
anyone else, but taking the man’s black reputation under
consideration, Cordie believes she’ll enjoy all the
freedom
she’s always wished for in his disreputable arms. If only
she could get her heart to go along with the plan and to
stop leaping whenever Lord Adonis…er…the Earl of
Clayworth
is nearby. But the very proper earl is most assuredly the
wrong sort for her purposes.
Brendan Reese, the Earl
of
Clayworth, has no intention of ever marrying again. He’s
still trying to clean up the mess his first wife left
him,
even years after her death. To all the world, Clayworth
is
the epitome of the perfect English gentleman, and he so
wishes that image was the truth. But the truth, as it
often
can be, is ugly. After all, a perfect English gentleman
would never have a traitor for a mother. And unless
Clayworth can find the evidence his late wife hid, he
could
face the gallows himself. But a chance encounter with the
reckless Cordelia Avery gives him the best lead he’s had
in
years to finally putting his family’s past to rest.
Unfortunately, focusing on anything other than Miss Avery
seems a nearly impossible task.
