Lord Seth Templeton has no desire for life to change. He enjoyed every minute of his bachelor existence. Anyway, his older brother, the Marquis of Eastbrook, partakes in enough seriousness for one family. His reputation as a rake has never caused him any problems…until now. Now, he must find a wife. And quickly. According to the terms of the inheritance, he must be engaged within two months or forfeit his grandfather’s money—money that would save his family. Finding a wife would be easy enough for a man like Seth but he’s certainly not ready to settle down. Surely there must be a way out of this situation…? In search of a solution, Seth finds himself in the depths of a place in which he never thought he’d set foot... A library. He also finds himself spending time with the clever Miss Prudence Hartley. The woman is a whizz with books and the law, and is thus, extremely useful to Seth. He needs her—for her strangely vast brain only of course. After all, what does it matter if he likes the way she pouts as she reads a book or furrows her brow in concentration? He’s a rake. And nothing will change that.

The Templetons have inherited a fortune but there's a catch... Minerva Templeton has a reputation for being, well, something of a recluse. A wallflower, if you will. However, due to her grandfather’s demands, all that must change. She must travel to the wilds of Scotland to fetch a mysterious something. Minerva cannot fathom why she should be the one to have to bring home this object but if she does not, their grandfather’s fortune will go to a most underserving man. So off she sets to Scotland where she must brave all manner of awful things—things this wallflower avoids at all costs after a traumatic experience as a child. But after the death of her beloved Grandpapa, she cannot help wondering if she should be brave. Bolder. Try new things. Like meeting a handsome Scottish farmer turned wealthy landowner. Like kissing him perhaps? Like falling desperately in love with the brooding, wonderful man? No, that’s a few too many new things. After all, there’s only so many new experiences a wallflower can have…The Templetons have inherited a fortune but there's a catch...

The Templetons have inherited a fortune but there's a catch... Theo, the Marquis of Eastbrook, has the easiest of tasks. At least the rest of his family thinks so. Return to his entailed estate and remain there for two months. It should be simple… But he has refused to set foot there since the death of his wife. Theo will do what he must for his family. It’s just, well, he almost forgot his ward still resides there. Lucy Jameson is all grown up. Very grown up. So much so that it is becoming distracting. Not only is she attractive but she’s determined to show him how much she’s been looking after his house. The indomitable Lucy can run a household with all the talent of a woman twice her age apparently. Every moment around her is like torment—knowing he cannot, must not touch her. These two months were going to be challenging enough and now they’ll be even harder knowing he’s attracted to his ward—a young woman who should definitely be off limits.
