About this audiobook

Lady Edith knows the sting of unrequited love, and now she wants only one thing-to marry a man who desires her or to never marry. But at the season's end, her father threatens to provide a husband if she cannot secure one herself. When a family friend saves her from the unwanted advances of one of their suitors, she falls a little bit in love. With his auburn hair and radical ideas about women, Griffin Paxton, the Earl of Eastern, is perfect. Except he doesn't want her back. Griffin will not be distracted by Lady Edith's diamond-eyed beauty. He needs a wife to fulfill his dying father's wish, and he needs her to be a model of propriety to repair the family reputation his rakish father sullied. When Lady Edith calls herself a rake, he knows she'll never do. He'll have to guard his attraction to her fiery spirit and open heart behind thick ice walls and look elsewhere. But when Edith suggests they forge a fake engagement to appease both their fathers, Griffin can't refuse. She needs his help, and he never ignores a damsel in distress. Will a fake courtship bring out their rakish desires, or will it offer a home to two hurting hearts?
