Lady Fiona Hollingsworth has lost her mother, her fiancé,
her father and then the family fortune within the last 16
months. Now, she receives a ransom demand for her brother
from bandits in Spain. With no one to aid her, Fiona
decides to ask a wealthy Cit to marry her for her pedigree.
Her beauty and breeding are the only worldly possessions
she has left to offer. Fiona expects a marriage-of-
convenience and is unprepared for the passion that flares
between her and her husband.
Nicholas Birmingham's father demanded perfection from his
son. He wished for Nicholas to fulfill his dreams of
entering the aristocracy and becoming a gentleman. Nicholas
has succeeded in the world of finance but has yet to be
accepted into society. The proposal the beautiful Lady
Fiona offers will enrich both his finances and his standing
within the Ton. He acknowledges the passion between them,
but his pride will not let him open his heart to her.
Fiona and Nicholas forge a friendship that develops into
love, but each harbors jealousy, which threatens to disrupt
their budding relationship. However, at Christmas with
their families, Fiona and Nicholas discover the power of
love and forgiveness.
In this sequel to THE COUNTERFEIT COUNTESS, Bolen spins a
delightful marriage-of-convenience tale. The love scenes
sizzle and the characters, with all their vulnerabilities,
will quickly capture the reader's heart.
A Frosty Wedding--
Lady Fiona Hollingsworth never thinks of herself as
particularly
daring--until she learns that her beloved brother needs her
help. But
when Fiona approaches the powerful and enigmatic Nicholas
Birmingham
with a scheme in mind, she is taking a far bigger risk than
she knows.
For Fiona's exchanging more than vows; she's striking a
delicious
bargain with the devil himself--and Christmas provides more
than enough
opportunity for wicked mischief under the mistletoe...
A Fiery Passion--
Nicholas Birmingham hasn't become the richest stockbroker
in England by being
anything less than shrewd. He fully understands what's
behind Fiona's
brazen proposal, yet he cannot turn away the alluring lady
who's
haunted his fantasies for so long. Of course, a man has his
pride, and
Nicholas has no intention of revealing how he feels. Yet
from the
moment he slips his ring on Fiona's finger, desire and
chaos are
kindled. Now it's only a matter of time before the magic of
the Season
brings true love to light!
