For a shameless libertine and a wily smuggler in the London Underground, marriage is more than convenience—it’s strategy . . .
Christopher “Kit” Ellingsworth, war veteran and newly minted Earl of Blakemere, buries his demons under every sort of pleasure and vice. His scandalous ways have all but emptied his coffers . . . until a wealthy mentor leaves him a sizeable fortune. The only stipulation? He must marry within one monthto inherit the money. Kit needs a bride and the bold, mysterious Miss Tamsyn Pearce seems perfect.
Husband hunting isn’t Tamsyn’s top priority—she’s in London to sell her new shipment of illicit goods—but she’s desperate for funds to keep her smuggling operation afloat. When a handsome earl offers to wed her and send her back to Cornwall with a hefty allowance, Tamsyn agrees. After all, her secrets could land her in prison and an attentive, love-struck spouse could destroy everything.
But when an unexpected proviso in the will grants Tamsyn control of the inheritance, their arrangement becomes anything but convenient. Now, Kit’s counting on his countess to make his wildest dreams a reality and he plans to convince her, one pleasurable seduction at a time.

Excerpt:
I’m going to be married to this man?
Mercy.
They pulled back in unison and her
eyes flew open. His gaze was clouded with dazed pleasure and astonishment.
It seemed he’d also been shocked by
the heat of their kiss and the speed of its intensity. He, a known rake and
libertine, looked aroused by what surely had to be one of the chastest kisses
he’d experienced in a long while.
Except it hadn’t been chaste. It had
been brief, but their tongues lightly touching had been profoundly erotic,
hinting at greater pleasure to come.
He cleared his throat. “That was . .
. a welcome revelation.”
Her thoughts whirled while her body
clamored for more. Hellfire—if this quick kiss had affected her so much, what
would happen when they went to bed together? What if she liked it? What if she
loved it, and her heart followed her body’s devotion?
Tamsyn was about to join with this
man for the rest of her life. Aside from a few facts, she knew almost nothing
about him. He was basically a stranger. Yet in three days, they would share a
bed. They would share everything. According to the law, she would belong to
him, and her own identity would dissolve.
Was this the right choice? She’d
gotten what she wanted, but she couldn’t help the fear that poked its sharp
fangs into her heart.
I have no idea what I’m getting
myself into.
