Description
Recently jilted by his fiancée, David Gray, Earl of Ravenport is not in the market for a wife. Even if Gray didn’t have his hands full renovating his crumbling country house, it would take more than a bold marriage proposal from a headstrong young beauty to thaw his frozen heart. Gray is confident that spending a week at his ramshackle estate will change her mind about marriage, but every passionate moment he spends with her tempts him to change his . . .
A talented artist, Miss Fiona Hartley desperately needs her dowry money to pay off a blackmailer set on ruining her sister. The handsome earl seems a sensible choice for a husband . . . if only she can convince him that romance will play no part. But marrying in name only may prove difficult for Fiona. Gray can’t help but be dazzled by her genuine warmth. Yet as their feelings deepen, Fiona’s deadline looms. Will her secrets destroy them, or is true love their final destiny?

I did not want to put this one down! Fiona was a wonderful character with her love and loyalty to family, determination to keep everyone safe, and brave enough to take those steps. As I learned about Gray’s past, I cared more about how this story ended. He started as a self-absorbed man but found his way into the world. I loved the interactions between Fiona and Gray, and enjoyed the love between the secondary characters. This is a story that I highly recommend, and I look forward to the next book in the series.
I received an ARC through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.
