Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Sabrina Jeffries, Ashlyn Macnamaraâs blazing hot novel tells the story of mismatched newlyweds who discover a simmering connection.
Â
Unlike every other proper young lady, Miss Emma Jennings views marrying well as little more than a means to an end. Such a merger would provide her industrious father with social credibility, and Emma with a chunk of her vast inheritance. Emmaâs practical views are shattered, however, when her father ties her to the fabulously handsome neâer-do-well Rowan Battencliffe, a man she loathes on sightâfrom the smile that promises all manner of wickedness to the way he ogles her with those striking blue eyes.
Â
Deep in debt, especially to his wine merchant, Rowan figures the sooner he gets his finances in order, the sooner he can go back to doing what he does best: burning through ridiculous sums of cash. Which is why Rowan agrees to marry the merchantâs daughter, a prim and proper woman with delightful curves and an ample dowry. But Emma seems to think itâs her business to reform him! Their marriage is a tinderboxâand itâs just too tempting to resist playing with fire.
