Faced with a tumbledown inheritance and forced to marry a penniless young woman, Viscount Raleigh thinks his luck has run out. But could his unwelcome wife be the best thing that ever happened to him?
The daughter of a vicar, Jane Trowbridge disdains privileged noblemen, especially an idle rogue like Raleigh. But when circumstances throw them together at an isolated estate, she finds herself falling for the man she misjudged.
