Whatโs love got to do with it?
Celia Lynton had been told her entire life that she couldnโt marry for love, marriage should be a business agreement, poor men were only after the family fortune, blah, blah, blah. But now, there is no fortune. Thereโs only debt, and an urgency to find a way to pay her younger brotherโs tuition at a school that can tend to his special needs. So yeah, thereโs going to be a marriage. One of convenience. Just like her parents wanted. Sheโll marry a future Scottish earlโa very rich future earlโand her brother will get to attend school. Thereโs just one problem: Celia is in love with another man.
You canโt always get what you want.
Carter Martin has loved Celia since they were kids. Never mind heโs too quiet, too studious for someone who lights up a room when she smiles, add to that his father works for her family. Being the son of the โhelp,โ he could never be good enough for her. So heโs worked hard his entire life to show his boss, the Earl of Pembroke, that he can take over his fatherโs position as Steward of the estate some day and take care of the family who has taken care of his for generations. Little does he know, Celia has a plan of her own...an intimate trip to Italy where they wonโt be able to keep their hands off each other. How can he resist the only woman heโs ever loved?
