    Book Description from the internet5

    Jendr Catesby Burgoyne has cultivated a reputation as the scandalous second son of the Earl of Malzard. After being kicked out of the service, (he was forced to sell his commission) he returns home to an icy welcome. He is cut out of the family after a nasty fight with his older brother, who is now earl. Living her life on progressively little, Prudence is now looking forward to a genteel lifestyle. Pru and her mother have sacrificed so that her brother, Aaron, could have the funds to set himself up as a solicitor. With their mother dead, Aaron dismisses his sister, ignoring her repeated pleas for assistance now that he has obtained a new wife with a tidy dowry. Pru tries to make it on her own but when she is attacked in a seedy neighborhood, Cates comes to her rescue. He is touched by Pru's out-of-place grace and hospitality - especially since she has so little - but he hasn't the time to dally with poor maidens. Pru is taunted by memories of her unlikely hero but she too has an agenda. She decides to force her brother's hand by demanding he seek an appropriate match for her. Aaron and his wife Susan reluctantly take Pru in and arranging a match with a violent man that will certainly doom her to unhappiness. During their time apart, Cates has become the new Earl of Malzard after the death of his brother. He seeks out Pru on a whim and rescues her yet again, this time at her wedding. In order to protect her, he hastily makes her his bride - without informing her of his new status. The couple faces a new set of issues adjusting to the earldom and again when Pru's former fiancé resurfaces seeking revenge. by Jendr
