A marriage of convenience ignites into a passionate love affair in the hotly anticipated second novel in New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Sabrina Jeffriesโs addictive Sinful Suitors series!
When Edwin Barlow, the Earl of Blakeborough, agrees to help his best friendโs impetuous ward, Lady Clarissa Lindsey, in her time of need, he knows heโs in for trouble. Heโs been hunting for someone to wed, and sheโll just get in the way. Although captivated by the witty, free-spirited beauty, he fears sheโd be all wrong as a wife...if she would even take such a gruff cynic for her husband. Yet he wants nothing more than to have her for his own.
Clarissa has no intention of marrying anyoneโnot Edwin, whom sheโs sure would be an overbearing husband, and certainly not the powerful French diplomat stalking her. But when matters escalate with the diplomat, she chooses Edwinโs gallant offer of a marriage between friends in hopes that it will deter her stalker. She expects nothing more than an amiable union, but their increasingly tempestuous kisses prove more than she bargained for. When her stalkerโs vow to expose the loversโ deepest secrets threatens to destroy their blossoming attraction, will their tenuous bond withstand public ruin, or will Edwin lose all thatโs important to him to protect his bride?
