Synopsis

Two sought-after sisters, a slew of suitors-and a vow to hold out for true love. How many proposals will it take to get to "I do"-especially when the stakes are high.

There have been six suitors so far, all vying for the attention-and generous dowry-of the beautiful, elusive Eleanor Sutherland. What does this woman really want? Who has what it takes to melt the heart of the so-called Lady Ice? These are the questions Camden West keeps asking himself. But rather than wait for answers, Cam takes matters into his own hands . . . for he has a secret weapon.

Cam knows that Ellie's sister, Charlotte, harbors a scandalous secret-one that could bring ruin to the Sutherland name. If Ellie marries him, Cam promises to keep mum. But is she willing to sacrifice her own happiness for her sister's reputation?

To Ellie's surprise, it becomes clear that Cam doesn't need her money, nor is he interested in her status. Soon, what begins as a sham engagement transforms into something deeper, and more passionate, than Ellie could have imagined. Is it possible that all Cam truly wanted was her? And is that reason enough to say yes-or is handsome Cam hiding something else? Even for a lady in love, only the truth will do . . .

From the Back Cover

Six Suitors.

Gamers, fortune hunters, lechers, and drunks--London is awash in unworthy gentlemen, and if a lady isn't careful, she could find herself married to one of them. Lady Eleanor Sutherland has refused so many suitors the ton has dubbed her Lady Ice, a title she plans to keep until she finds a gentleman she truly loves, because only a fool would trade her freedom for anything less than love.

Six Offers.
The Sutherlands owe Camden West, and he never forgets a debt. Now, ten years after the tragedy that destroyed his family, he plans to collect. Willing or not, Lady Eleanor will become his wife and pay her family's debt with her name, her body, her freedom, and her future. She may think herself too good for every gentleman in London, but with her sister's reputation Cam's to ruin, this isn't a negotiation. It's a conquest, and Lady Eleanor will surrender.

Six Refusals.
Blackmail, a sham courtship, a defiant bride, and a suitor with a secret that could destroy them both. Instead of the wedding day every lady dreams about, Ellie is trapped in a nightmare. But love can turn nightmares into dreams, and villains into heroes. Will Ellie open her eyes in time to see the man she despises is the only man she can't live without?

The Seventh Suitor.
He's the only gentleman with an offer Lady Eleanor can't refuse.
