For her secrets are as dark as she is beautiful, and the accidental death of her fiance was tainted by a forbidden attraction...Matthew Harris, the new earl of Blackburn, has been scorned by the ton for unintentionally killing Lady Jennette's fiance. Forced to sell his estates and abandon his tenants if he does not marry a wealthy, respectable woman, Matthew turns to Lady Jennette to help him find a suitable wife.
