Carolyn Torrington's romantic dreams of her childhood friend Lucas Rivers are shattered when the wily lord offers her a marriage of convenience to gain his inheritance. While it breaks her heart to say yes to the arrangement with a man she's always loved, it's the only way to secure her sisters' futures.

To the world, Lucas, Lord Foxhaven, is an irrepressible rogue, and wedded bliss is the furthest thing from his mind. But he's been forced up to the mark by his father, and he's certain the demure Carolyn won't give him an iota of trouble?if only her voluptuous body weren't driving him to distraction.

As Carolyn struggles to keep her true feelings hidden, Lucas is drawn ever more powerfully by thoughts of unbridled passion, and he's stunned by his burgeoning feelings for a woman he's always seen as a friend. When a scheming Parisian relative threatens to take her from him for good, Lucas realizes he must stand up and be the man Carolyn always knew he could be?even as he suddenly comes to know he wants their marriage in name only to become quite real . . .

This book was originally published under the author name Michele Ann Young.
