Millicent understands the terms of her arranged marriage all
too well. She gets to be a Countess by marrying an
impoverished Earl. And in return, the Earl Fitzhugh receives
the benefit of her vast wealth, saving his family from
bankruptcy. Because of her youth, they have agreed to wait
eight years before consummating the marriage--and then, only
to beget an heir. After which, they will lead separate lives.
It is a most sensible arrangement. Except for one little
thing. Somehow Millie has fallen head over heels in love
with her husband. Her husband, who has become her very best
friend, but nothing more...Her husband, who plans to reunite
with his childhood sweetheart, the beautiful and newly
widowed Isabella, as soon as he has honored the pact with
his wife...
As the hour they truly become husband-and-wife draws near,
both Millie and Fitzhugh must face the truth in their
hearts. Has their pact bred only a great friendship--or has
it, without either of them quite noticing, given rise to a
great love?
