“I mean it, marry me…”
Lady Eloise will not think of marriage until she finds her missing sister. But her father has other plans, on the verge of marrying her off to the worst of men…
When rakish Duke Jackson hears of her plight he offers a deal: marry him, or at least pretend to, and she can be free to look for her sister, as he can finally have his inheritance back from his meddling uncle.
This is a ruse, they remind themselves, not a love match. And if they stop kissing at every chance maybe they will come to believe it…
