      A Marriage of Necessity

      The moment John, Lord Hascot, encounters a young woman sheltering in his abandoned stable, his future is sealed. To prevent scandal—and protect Lady Amelia Jacoby from her parents’ ire—he must propose. John’s ability to trust vanished when his former love married his twin brother. Yet he offers Amelia everything she could want—except affection.

      Amelia sees John’s true nature shine through when he cares for his horses. But the brooding aristocrat seems determined to keep her at arm’s length. Little by little Amelia will turn Hollyoak Farm into a home, but can she turn a marriage of convenience into a joyful union?

      The Master Matchmakers: Wedding bells will ring when downstairs servants play Cupid for upstairs aristocracy

      “I married you, Amelia.

      I will honor our vows.”

      How could she help him understand? Amelia stood and approached him. “And if you cannot? ‘Forsaking all others,’ the rector said. Your wife is to have all your love and devotion.”

      “And a husband should have all his wife’s,” John replied. “Do you tell me you’ve held nothing back?”

      She stiffened. “No, nothing! I’ve never loved another.”

      “And do you claim to love me?”

      Amelia swallowed, her gaze falling to the black-and-green carpet even as she halted a few feet from him. “Perhaps not yet.” Her voice sounded so small. “But I’m trying.”

      He moved to close the distance between them and touched her cheek, drawing her attention back to his face. Standing so close, she could see that gold flecks danced in the dark eyes, as if some part of him still clung to light, to hope.

      “I know you are trying, Amelia,” he murmured. “You’ve turned this place into a home. You may well have saved Firenza’s life. I admire your efforts.”

      A tear slid down her cheek. “Admiration is not love.”

      She and her husband of over twenty-five years reside in southeast Washington State with their overactive Irish terrier.
