The Sworn Bachelor on the List

Description

Handsome, charming Douglas Merriton, Marquess of Tanmere, was heir to the Dukedom of Redditch, andmuch to his deceased father’s fury, a sworn bachelor. At the reading of his father’s will, Douglas was shocked to discover the old Duke had changed the terms of the inheritance. He suddenly found himself faced with an almost impossible task: To inherit the title and family fortune, he must find a lady, woo her, and convince her to marry him within 30 days. If he failed, he would lose everything.

When he met Lady Ginette Saunders, he was entranced and felt compelled to pursue her as the ideal candidate. But she appeared to have other ideas, and with time running out, Douglas needed a miracle to prevent both his dukedom and his chance of happiness from slipping away.

Viscount’s daughter Ginette Saunders always dreamt of marrying for love. When her family’s money troubles forced her to find a suitor by the end of the Season, she hatched a plot to find a dupe and string him along, making her parents think a betrothal was in the offing before eventually breaking it off.

Then she met the Marquess of Tanmere, an avowed bachelor whose name she had crossed off her list of contenders. She was drawn to him, but when both his pursuit of her and her growing feelings for him threatened to derail her plans, she faced a hard choice between accepting the perfect dupe or gambling on a future with the man she truly desired.
