   JILTED by one future duke, Lila has no choice but to wed another. She will
  marry the man, escape from her father's clutches and free her sister as well.
  Her groom is simply the means to an end, that is, until he becomes so much
  more.
  
  
  
   FORCED to honor his dead brother's debts, Vincent Saint-Pierre, the Duke of
  Pemberth, travels to Lord Quimbly's estate to shackle himself to the Earl's
  oldest daughter. Taking a wife is the last thing he wants or needs, and yet,
  his unlikely bride threatens to capture his heart.
  
  
  
   GOODNESS and pleasure sow seeds of affection, but weeds of the past threaten
  to strangle the newlywed's love. Can Vincent and Lila avoid deadly thorns, or
  will their love be poisoned before joy can blossom?
