Brighter Than the Sun

Charles Wycombe, the dashing Earl of Billington, needs a bride before his upcoming thirtieth birthday if he hopes to earn his inheritance. The vicar's vivacious, determined daughter, Miss Eleanor Lyndon, needs a new home, since her father's unsufferable fiancee is making her old one intolerable. Destiny has brought Charles and Ellie together, and while they agree to marry for their mutual convenience, Charles is not prepared to let a woman command his household. And strong-willed Ellie refuses to let a rogue run her life. Yet the rakish earl can be quite charming--and even tender--when he puts his mind to it. And there's no denying the sensuous allure of his enchanting, innocent, yet utterly stubborn wife. Though mishaps and danger threaten their fragile union, they must follow where passion leads--to the rapturous warmth of love.
