The Ideal Wife
The Perplexing Proposal

The Earl of Severn's question was simple enough. Would Miss Abigail Gardiner agree to become his wife?

A Miss Nobody, to boot, who harbored a secret that could cover her with shame and fill a husband with horror.

There was but one way for Abigail to find out what lay behind the Earl's proposal and what danger her dark past might pose.

For better or worse, she had to say yes.
