Fans of historical
romance authors Lorraine Heath and Sophie Jordan will adore Vivienne Lorret's
latest Wallflower Wedding novel.
Delaney McFarland is on
the hunt for a husband—preferably one who needs her embarrassingly large
dowry more than a dutiful wife. After the unspeakable incident at her debut,
Delaney knows marrying for love is off the table, but a marriage of
convenience—one that leaves her free to live the life she chooses—is the next
best thing, never mind what that arrogant, devilishly handsome Mr. Croft
thinks. Delaney plans to marry for money … or not at all.
Ever since the fiery
redhead burst into his life—in a most memorable way—Griffin Croft
hasn't been able to get Miss McFarland out of his mind. Now, with the
maddening woman determined to hand over her fortune to a rake, Griffin knows
he must step in. He must help her. He must not kiss her. But when
Griffin's noble intentions flee in a moment of unexpected passion, his true
course becomes clear: tame Delaney's wild heart and save her from a fate
worse than death … a life without love.
