From a USA Today bestseller, "a charming Victorian" about a woman who marries by proxy is "certain to entertain aficionados of historical romance" (Publishers Weekly).

Her marriage of convenience seems far too convenient...
Desperation drove Cecilia Mallory to seek a union with a stranger -- one who would wed her sight unseen and grant her full access to her inheritance with no expectations whatsoever. She anticipated, perhaps, an older, undesirable, equally desperate husband -- never the young, vibrant, and devastatingly attractive man who answered her call. What could such a man really be after?

Unknown to Cecilia, Viscount Michael Blackthorne, a soldier and gentleman, owes a debt of honor to Lady Cecilia's father, and granting her unusual request to wed seemed a worthy way to repay it. But an unseen threat perilously close at hand is convincing Michael that his true responsibility is to protect the beautiful, warm-hearted lady he has married... the woman he is unexpectedly coming to love.
