Jo Beverley

As England is in turmoil after the death of Princess Charlotte, wondering who will inherit the throne, Lady Ariana Boxstall has another succession in mind. Her brother, Norris, refuses to marry, and while he's a strapping healthy young man now, Ariana refuses to one day lose her home to a stranger if Norris does pass away. She's determined to make him wed. But Norris sets one condition before her: He'll take a bride, but only after Ariana becomes a wife herself. For the sake of her family name, Ariana accepts his challenge. But of course, she falls for the one man who refuses to be had.
