When Charles Wycombe, the dashing and incorrigible Earl of Billington, toppled out of a tree and landed at Ellie's feet, neither suspected that such an inauspicious meeting would lead to marriage. But Charles must find a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he'll lose his fortune. And Ellie needs a husband or her father's odious fiancée will choose one for her. And so they agree to wed, even though their match appears to have been made somewhere hotter than heaven …
Ellie never dreamed she'd marry a stranger, especially one with such a devastating combination of rakish charm and debonair wit. She tries to keep him at arm's length, at least until she discovers the man beneath the handsome surface. But Charles can be quite persuasive — even tender — when he puts his mind to it, and Ellie finds herself slipping under his seductive spell. And as one kiss leads to another, this unlikely pair discovers that their marriage is not so inconvenient after all … and just might lead to love.

Цитаты

    “I had misjudged a certain, er, problem,” Ellie continued. “I still cannot believe I did. Hence I was saying, ‘So I thought,’ because, you see, I held a certain thought, and if I had not held that thought, I would not have been mistaken in my logic.”

    Mrs. Foxglove looked so befuddled that Ellie wanted to whoop with delight.

    “Well, whatever the case,” the older woman said pointedly, “such bizarre behavior will never land you a husband.”

    Ellie stared at him in disbelief. “You are mad.”

    “Thoroughly sane, I assure you.” He grimaced. “It is my father who was mad.”

    Ellie suddenly had a vision of crazy, cackling babies and lurched backward. They said insanity was in the blood.

    “Oh, for the love of God,” Charles muttered. “Not truly mad. He simply left me in a cursed bind.”

    “I don’t see what this has to do with me.”

    “It has everything to do with you,” he said cryptically.

    The knife was a bit dull, and soon Ellie was gritting her teeth as she sawed through his boot. She looked up from her task for a moment. “Just let me know if I—”

    “Ow!”

    “—poke you,” she finished. “I’m dreadfully sorry.”

    “It is astonishing,” he said, his voice liberally laced with irony, “how much sorrow I hear in your voice.”

    Ellie caught another giggle in her throat.

    “Oh, for the love of God,” he muttered. “Just laugh. Lord knows my life is laughable.”
