Julia Quinn
When Charles Wycombe, the dashing and incorrigible Earl of Billington, toppled out of a tree and landed at Ellie Lyndonâ€˜s feet, neither suspected that such an inauspicious meeting would lead to marriage. But Charles must find a bride before his thirtieth birthday or heâ€™ll lose his fortune. And Ellie needs a husband or her fatherâ€™s odious fiancÃ©e will choose one for her. And so they agree to wed, even though their match appears to have been made somewhere hotter than heavenâ€¦,Ellie never dreamed sheâ€™d marry a stranger, especially one with such a devastating combination of rakish charm and debonair wit. She tries to keep him at armâ€™s length, at least until she discovers the man beneath the handsome surface. But Charles can be quite persusasiveâ€”even tenderâ€”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 allâ€¦ and just might lead to love.
