About this book

LOVELESS BRIDE The handsome Earl of Droxford relished all the privileges of being wealthy--and a bachelor. Now, because of King William's decree, he must be married within a month. "Find me a wife," he told his beautiful mistress. "A complacent, conformable wife who will not interfere in my affairs!" For bewitching, green-eyed Karina, it was a chance to escape from poverty and hardship, and she offered herself as the docile bride! So they made their loveless marriage vows -- the Earl and the enchanting country girl. But in fashionable London Karina broke her promise to be complacent. She had fallen impossibly in love!
