What a scoundrel wants, a scoundrel gets…

Being a wallflower is no easy feat. And though desperate to make a match, Lady Estelle Astor cannot get over the fact that her childhood crush is a renowned rake. Nor that she is constantly ignored by him.

Recently returned from his travels, Theodore Hamilton, the Marquess of Campbell, has brought with him a very damaging reputation. Pressured to marry a timid lady, his old friend Estelle seems like the perfect option. Until she refuses his proposal of a marriage of convenience, that is.

When their fathers conspire to force them together anyway, Theodore senses that there is more to this than just a marriage contract. And his father’s secret visits to his wife mean more than he could ever imagine.
