An Unwilling Earl (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781090714084)

Jacob Ashland's life has taken an unexpected turn. He's now the Earl of Ashland and expected to marry. But he's done that before and had his heart ripped from his chest. When Charlotte shows up at his door needing protection, he offers to marry her--in name-only.

Charlotte, an orphan, suspects her sinister cousin of terrorizing London. When her maid disappears, she fears for her own life and runs away. Lord Ashland offers marriage, and it's the perfect solution. But it isn't long before she finds herself falling for her new husband.

Unfortunately, he won't allow himself to love anyone ever again. And she knows her dark secret could destroy everything.
