| Publisher Description: Nathaniel Spencer, the Fourteenth Duke of Kirkbourne wakes up with an almighty hangover and a wager note in his pocket stating he has agreed to marry the Earl of Brackingham's daughter. And he can't even remember ever meeting the chit. Clearly his drinking has got out of hand. Lady Sarah Steele is horrified when her father announces that the Duke of Kirkbourne has agreed to marry her and even more horrified that her father wagered her hand in a game of cards. Not only that, but the earl has not told the duke of the riding accident that left Sarah paralysed when she was sixteen. But he's dying and she knows he wants to see her settled before the inevitable happens. Despite Nate's drinking and Sarah's possible complicity in the earl's plan, they agree to marry. But when accidents start to happen, the newly-weds must deal not only with the fact they are practically strangers, but they must find out who is trying to kill one or both of them. Nate's drink problem and Sarah's disability are only a couple of the hurdles they must face to find lasting love. This book contains scenes of an adult nature. |
