In this captivating new historical romance brimming with seductive twists and irresistible wit, an English nobleman is finally free from exile--but can his heart still be captured?
After more than a decade separated from his home and family, the Earl of Heathbrook returns to his London townhouse to face a new test: reclaiming guardianship of his younger brothers. His reputation as a rakehell, it seems, has followed him from detention inside Napoleon's France and caused his own father to block Heathbrook's rightful custody in his will. However, the clever rogue concocts a plan to restore respectability and rescue his siblings . . . by finding a "fiancée" with no strings attached. Giselle Bernard is not looking to wed an earl with a wild past. All she seeks is a connected nobleman who can legally secure her new life in England and head off a mysterious stranger's threats. Posing as Heathbrook's bride-to-be would surely benefit them both. But as revelations come to light--the ill-fated young affair that left Heathbrook embittered, and the mademoiselle's own guarded secrets--their engagement charade may unexpectedly blossom into a promise to love, honor, and cherish . . .Author Biography
