2008The Earl of Severn's question was simple enough. Would Miss Abigail Gardiner agree to become his wife? But a far more difficult question was why the most handsome and wealthy lord in London, with a ravishing mistress and his pick of the marriage mart, would want to wed a Miss Nobody like her. A Miss Nobody, to boot, who harbored a secret that could cover her with shame and fill a husband with horror. There was but one way for Abigail to find out what lay behind the Earl's proposal and what danger her dark past might pose. For better or worse, she had to say yes. Book
