THE EARL'S HIRED BRIDE by DEB MARLOWE
Because an unmarried Earl must be in want of a bride . .
. Every debutante in the ton wants to be the Countess of
Hartford—and mistress of Hartsworth Castle. Never mind
that Hart has no interest in marrying just yet, the young
ladies hunt him as ruthlessly as a pack of hounds after
the elusive fox. What he needs is a hired bride—one who
will give him some room to breathe, but is guaranteed to
call it off at the end of the Season.
Because a
girl with no prospects will do what she must to
help her family . . . Miss Emily Spencer must do
something. Her mother’s health is failing and the
notorious Duke of Danby is growing dangerously close. Why
not hide in plain sight and pretend to be the Earl of
Hartford’s betrothed? And getting paid for her troubles?
It’s just what she needs to make her family comfortable
again.
Because love comes when you least expect it
. . . Sparks
fly when the two put their plan in motion—and deeper
emotions grow. But how can they be together when the path
they’ve forged only leads to their inevitable break up?
