1864—
Born to a life of privilege, Lady Ravenna Huntley rues the day that she must marry.
She’s refused dozens of suitors and cried off multiple betrothals, but running away—even if brash and foolhardy—is the only option left to secure her independence.
Lord Courtland Chase, grandson of the Duke of Ashvale, was driven from England at the behest of his stepmother. Scorned and shunned, he swore never to return to the land of his birth. But when a twist of bad luck throws a rebellious heiress into his arms at the very moment he finds out he’s the new Duke, marriage is the only alternative to massive scandal.
Both are quick to deny it, but a wedding might be the only way out for each of them. And the attraction that burns between them makes Ravenna and Courtland wonder if it’ll truly only be a marriage of convenience after all..
“Lady Ravenna Huntley has found freedom from society’s expectations by dressing as a male sailor and sneaking off to the high seas—but by the time she reaches Antigua, she’s out of money and quickly running out of luck. Things only get worse when Courtland Chase, the boy-next-door-turned-duke to whom Ravenna was once betrothed—and whom she and the rest of London society believed to be dead, accuses her of cheating at cards. …. Howard manages to keep the focus on the reluctant attraction between Ravenna and Courtland throughout all the twists and turns. Readers won’t be disappointed.”
