The Baron's Rose

He’s out of money. She’s out of options. Together, they might just find love.

Rose Allen was supposed to be a duchess. Instead, she’s been publicly rejected in favor of her own sister, leaving her reputation in tatters and her prospects all but gone. No respectable gentleman will have her now—except, perhaps, a man desperate enough to overlook the scandal in exchange for her substantial dowry.

Lord Oliver Brandon never expected to inherit the mountain of debts that came with his new title. With his father gone, the family coffers empty, and those he loves depending upon him, Oliver needs a solution—and fast. Marrying a wealthy woman could save them all. Unfortunately, the woman offered to him is the sharp-tongued, thoroughly discontented Rose Allen.

Rose knows Oliver needs her money. Oliver knows Rose would never have considered him if her circumstances were different. Neither enters their marriage expecting anything more than a practical arrangement.

But what begins as a cold bargain soon becomes something neither anticipated. As irritation gives way to understanding and reluctant admiration turns into affection, Rose and Oliver discover their marriage may offer far more than either bargained for. But can two people brought together by necessity put aside wounded pride long enough to trust each other with their hearts?
