New to wealth and to London high society, American heiress Cora Dove discovers that with the right man, marriage might not be such an inconvenience after all. . . . Cora Dove and her sisters questionable legitimacy has been the lifelong subject of New Yorks gossipmongers and a continual stain on their fathers reputation. So when the girls each receive a generous, guilt-induced dowry from their dying grandmother, the sly Mr. Hathaway vows to release their funds only if Cora and her sisters can procure suitable husbands--far from New York. For Cora, England is a fresh start. She has no delusions of love, but a husband who will respect her independence? Thats an earl worth fighting for. Enter: Leopold Brendon, Earl of Devonworth, a no-nonsense member of Parliament whose plan to pass a Public Health bill that would provide clean water to the working class requires the backing of a wealthy wife. He just never expected to crave Coras touch or yearn to hear her thoughts on his campaign--or to discover that his seemingly perfect bride protects so many secrets... But secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface, and Devonworth has a few of his own. With their pasts laid bare and Coras budding passion for womens rights taking a dangerous turn, theyll learn the true cost of losing their heart to a stranger--and that love is worth any price.
