The Proud Viscount — Laura Matthews

A MARRIAGE OF INCONVENIENCE

Lady Jane Barlow refused to hear of marriage to the Viscount Rossmere. Such a match would be an insult to the memory of the man whom Jane had loved and tragically lost. Moreover, Jane refused to put herself under the yoke of a lord who clearly thought himself superior to her and everyone else.

For his part, Rossmere wanted nothing to do with tying himself down to any one woman, especially not the infuriatingly independent Lady Jane. Much more to his taste was the exquisite Madeline Fulton, who offered a wealth of pleasure without demanding he pay with his freedom.

But Jane was single and needed a husband. And Rossmere was poor and needed an heiress. Which meant marriage was hard to resist--almost as hard as resisting a love that neither dared admit....

Hero: Lord Stephen Rossmere
Heroine: Lady Jane Barlow
