___________________________________________________
As one of the daughters of an English Earl and his Indian Mistress, Anya Marleigh has defied Regency society's rules by playing her sitar and singing beautifully for Queen Charlotte at the court of George III.
When she comes into an unexpected inheritance, her change of fortune comes with a catch - she must marry before her twenty-fifth birthday or the money will go to her trustee - the infuriating but devilishly sexy Lord Damian Ashton, who also has the power to approve her choice of husband.
As Anya begins to attract the wrong sort of marriage suitor, Lord Ashton is the only thing standing between her and a fate worse than death. But does he have his own reasons for hindering her happy ever after ...?
