This is an unconventional Regency-set romance from promising new author Sophie Jordan. We have a star in the making! The reluctant bride Lady Portia Derring has an impeccable pedigree and not a penny to her name. Sister to a duke, this impoverished bluestocking reluctantly travels to Yorkshire to meet the wealthy earl her family insists she wed. Meeting him, however, is as far as she will go. Refusing to be a sacrificial lamb on the altar of matrimony to satisfy her brother's debts, this determined lady will do everything in her power not to gain a proposal. After all, she has plans of her own and they don't involve matrimony. The unwilling groom Known as Mad Moreton to everyone in Yorkshire, Heath lives a life as untamed and wild as the moors. After all, he has a family reputation to live down. The bad blood that runs in his veins is more than enough reason to swear off matrimony. Not even the outspoken, infuriating Lady Portia will succeed in trapping him. Bright eyes and tempting smile aside, he will resist the chit even if it kills him.
Sophie Jordan grew up on a pecan farm in the Texas hill country, where she wove fantasies of dragons, warriors, and princesses. A former high school English teacher, she's also the New York Times bestselling author of Avon historical romances and the Firelight series. She now lives in Houston with her family. When she's not writing, she spends her time overloading on caffeine (lattes and Diet cherry Coke preferred), talking plotlines with anyone who will listen (including her kids), and cramming her DVR with true-crime and reality-TV shows.
