A desperate earl. A bluestocking heiress. A marriage of convenience gone awry.
Miss Amelia Hart may have a hefty dowry, but she seems to be invisible to eligible gentlemen. When the charming and handsome Earl of Longley begins courting her, she's baffled. Until she realizes that he's a fortune hunter.
Amelia proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement that could prove dangerous to her heart. They wed: he gets access to her dowry, and she has the freedom she's always dreamed of...as long as she doesn't fall for him.
Resisting the earl's gentle touches and kind words proves almost impossible, but Amelia knows she isn't the type of woman to entice a man like him. Loving her new husband can only end in heartbreak.
