Descrip­tions

Pour échapper à un mariage avec un homme qu'elle méprise et qui l'effraie, Arabella Larke invente de fausses fiançailles avec Guy Roth, marquis de Hardbury, une lointaine connaissance qui a été contrainte à l'exil pour fuir un père tyrannique et dépravé. Ce dernier n'a nullement l'intention de se prêter à ce jeu jusqu'à ce qu'une nuit, la belle jeune femme se présente chez lui.

Promised to each other as children, they swore never to marry. But matters have a way of getting confused, when your childhood nemesis grows up…

Wealthy, elegant, and famously proud, Arabella Larke is the lady with everything–and she risks losing the lot if she refuses to marry the man her father has chosen, a man she loathes and fears

But Arabella never backs away from a fight, and she always has a plan–and her plan to avoid marriage involves faking a betrothal with her childhood nemesis, Guy Roth, recently returned to England after years away.

Guy Roth, Marquess of Hardbury, has spent his entire life refusing to marry Arabella, and he isn’t about to change his mind now. He won’t even listen to her schemes, let alone get ensnared in them. He wants only to rebuild his family, starting by marrying a sweet and amiable lady–which rules Arabella out.

Until Arabella shows up at his house one night … and Guy finds himself entangled to a dangerous degree.
