A Deal with the Earl (Necessary Arrangements, #1)

There is no love in society marriages, unless one makes a deal with the earl.

Lady Julia has dreamed of marrying her childhood sweetheart since she was four years old. But her father has other plans, he wants her to marry an earl. When she is forced into an unwanted betrothal, Julie needs to make a choice: ruin her honor and wait for her true love or make a deal with the forbidding earl.

Robert, the earl of Clydesdale, has sworn off love and a marriage of convenience is more to his liking. So he wasn’t about to turn away a beautiful young lady’s plea for help in exchange for her hand in marriage. But once he spends more time with his betrothed, his icy heart begins to melt. Only his betrothed is in love with another. Now Robert has a choice, either lock his heart away and live in misery, or take a risk and fight for the woman he loves.
