When the Jasper Kincaid, the Earl of Harcourt, offered to marry one of the infamous Shelley triplets, he was doing it for the dowry to refill his depleted coffers, not for anything so silly as love.

And when it becomes clear her sister has run away with another, an opportunity arises for a marriage with a much deeper connection.

Suddenly she’s going to marry this stern, fascinating man who is not particularly pleased at her perfidy.

And the longer he keeps that from Thomasina, the more painful it will be when the truth comes out. Can they let each other close enough to fight together against the dangers right around the corner?
