Part of The Ravenels, book 3
First published 2017
Lady Pandora Ravenel has no interest in husband hunting. She prefers developing her board game business to dancing at society balls. But one evening, a scandal erupts between her and Gabriel, Lord St. Vincent, London's most skilled rake. Gabriel has dodged marriage for years, yet finds himself caught by this unconventional woman who wants nothing to do with him. Pandora's strong will and entrepreneurial spirit fascinate him. He pursues her relentlessly until she agrees to marry him. Their union begins as pure convenience, but Pandora soon discovers her business ventures have entangled her in a deadly conspiracy. Gabriel must protect his new wife from unknown enemies. As danger surrounds them, both realize their calculated arrangement might become something deeper. The cynical lord and the ambitious lady discover that their marriage of necessity could transform into genuine love.
