Lady Eleanor Russell needed a husband. Immediately. With no male heir, when her father died, the vast family estate would revert to the Crown. But no man would choose an unattractive, outspoken, independent, spinster of mature years as a bride-so she'd buy a husband. An impoverished third son of aristocratic birth, Lord Miles Everleigh, tall, elegant and immensely handsome, relied on wealthy widows to clothe, house and feed him. In exchange, they received a charming, accomplished companion, both in and out of the bedroom. But this lifestyle wore away a man's self-respect; he was not the male whore his step-brother had named him. When Eleanor "bought" Miles as a husband, she never intended to lose her heart. When he accepted her proposal, Miles never imagined he'd want more from Eleanor than her money.
