About this ebook
When charming rake Tristan Barrett sweeps Lady Elizabeth off her feet, stealing both her heart and a kiss in a secluded garden, her brother challenges Tristan to a duel. The only way to save her brother and Tristan from harm—not to mention preserve her reputation—is to get married. But her father, the Duke of Pemberton, refuses to allow his daughter to marry anyone but a titled lord. The duke demands that Elizabeth marry Tristan’s older brother, Richard, the Earl of Averston. Now Elizabeth must give up Tristan to marry a man who despises her, a man who loves another, a man she’ll never love. Richard fears Elizabeth is as untrustworthy as his mother, who ran off with another man. However, to protect his brother from a duel and their family name from further scandal, he agrees to the wedding, certain his new bride will betray him. Yet when Elizabeth turns his house upside down and worms her way into his reluctant heart, Richard suspects he can’t live without his new countess. Will she stay with him or is it too little, too late?

England 1813 A young lady thought she had found someone to love her and was overjoyed. Stary eyed, Lady Elizabeth was to meet Tristan in the garden by herself that night and she could not wait! He would marry her and take her away from her stepmother", the Duchess's control. But that dream she had was shattered as they were found in a compromising position and her half brother challenged Tristan to a duel. But Richard, Tristan's older brother was forced by her father to marry the girl. A duke's daughter no less.. Thus the journey begins and what a tangled one it is to say the least. I could not turn the pages fast enough and my heart really hurt at some of the secrets and suffering that came out. Such a well written story with characters created such that I could feel their emotons. This is the first book I have read by this author, but it will definately not be the last... I read this through NetGallery
