A man with nothing to lose… Lieutenant Lord Alec Quinton gambled and lost in the Lyon’s Den. But Mrs. Dove-Lyon grants him a second chance. Will he win the hand of an heiress this time, or face his worst fear? Forced to retire from the Navy when an injury leaves him with one and a half legs, his pride takes a second hit when he returns home and his fiancée cries off. His dream is to breed horses, but needs an influx of ready coin. He seeks to marry an heiress who will agree to a marriage in name only. A hoyden on the verge of losing everything… Lady Catherine Huntington’s widowed mother is bedridden, and her aunt has struck a bargain with the Black Widow of Whitehall, but time is running out. She must marry by her twenty-first birthday, or lose her inheritance and the ability to pay for her mother’s care. She’d rather spend her time in the country, racing her gelding through an open meadow, than attending the tedious round of entertainments in London. If only she could find a man agreeable to a marriage in name only. Mrs. Dove-Lyon has made the perfect match: two people who love horses and want a marriage in name only. But will their stubborn pride bend and listen, when their hearts cry out for more?
