Emma V. Leech

She needs a titled fiancé. He wants far more than her money.
A witty, sensual Regency Romance from Best Selling Author Emma V Leech
Dinah Osborne needs a husband—and she needs one immediately. Her eccentric grandfather’s will demands she be engaged to a titled gentleman before her twenty‑first birthday, or she’ll lose every penny of her considerable inheritance. Unfortunately, Dinah’s idea of a worthy man and her grandfather’s are worlds apart. Only a lord will do… and Dinah has no entrée into the rarefied circles of the ton.

What she does have is a talent for blackmail.

Enter Lord Benjamin Lancaster—rake, gambler, and exactly the sort of man Dinah despises. But he has a title, and she has leverage, and that is quite enough for her purposes. A fake engagement will suit her perfectly, especially when the alternative is losing everything.

Benjamin, however, is not nearly as biddable as she hoped.

He wants compensation for his cooperation—and not merely the financial kind. His dark charm and wicked blue eyes unsettle her far more than she cares to admit, and Dinah soon discovers that managing a dangerously charming rake is far more complicated than coercing one. Their bargain may be practical, but the slow‑burn romantic tension between them is anything but.

She may think he’s the last man she could ever love.
He’s determined to prove her wrong.
