A viscount in waiting

Finds a convenient wife

To claim his inheritance, Leo Ashburton needs a bride who accepts that he can offer her a title and a house, but not love. Annabelle Hummingford—whose scarred face has made her hide from society—seems like the perfect match. But as his shy wife blossoms into a confident, mesmerising woman, Leo is torn. Falling for her risks being hurt again – but will burying his feelings mean losing her altogether?
