Lady Charlotte Whitworth has a plan. To gain the estate promised by her father, she must wed instead of settling into life as a spinster. Her requirements for the perfect marriage of convenience are simple: separate lives, no emotional entanglements. A negligent husband shouldn’t be hard to find. After all, suitors have been in short supply since she debuted and became the laughingstock of London.

“Witless, with nothing to offer but a dowry and a passably pretty face…” Everyone knows Lord Amesbury said it. After unexpectedly inheriting, his life became one bad decision after another. For the past five years, he’s stayed out of the gossip rags. Until her. The woman he once dubbed the Paper Doll Princess, dismantles his hard-won self-control with a single withering look.

LOVE IS THE ONE THING SHE DOESN’T WANT. ALL HE NEEDS IS REDEMPTION. BUT NOTHING IN LIFE OR LOVE GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN.
