Description
USA Today–Bestselling Author: A nobleman needs a wife in name only—and chooses a chimney sweep’s daughter—in this fairy-tale Regency romance . . .
Lord Robert Selborne intended to kiss the chimney sweep’s daughter for luck at his cousin’s wedding . . . not marry her! But of all the ladies assembled, she was the only one who captured his interest. And unless she agreed to a marriage of convenience, he would forfeit his inheritance. . . .
Having been raised by a brutal father on the London streets, Jemima Jewell had few illusions about life and love. Until Rob’s lips met hers in a soul-stirring kiss and he impulsively made her his wife. And his penniless bride now hoped her love would provide Rob with a fortune far greater than the one he sought. . . .
