Lady
Clarissa has decided to live life on her terms. After the end of a ten-year
betrothal, she wants nothing to do with marriage or the men of the ton. Least
of all her friend’s brother, the very charming Lord Markham, or Hearts, as many
ladies call the oh-so-handsome earl.
Markham
pursues relationships with no ties that bind. Acting the rake leaves everyone
satisfied…until he overhears a wager that could lead to Clarissa’s ruin. He
can’t help but step in and claim she’s his intended bride.
Clarissa is appalled. She did not need to be saved. Reluctantly, she agrees to the fake courtship, if only to experience what the rakish Markham can offer. But when lust becomes love, Clarissa must make up her own terms and bet it all on Hearts.
A few moments ago, Clarissa had chosen to eavesdrop, fully understanding that, if caught, she’d suffer embarrassment.
She hadn’t understood her peril.
