Four Times The Temptation (The Northumberland Nine Series, #4)

Hope is the most dangerous temptation of all…

Jeanette Marsden dreamed of a London season, but as one of nine daughters to a poor gentleman farmer, she must pin all her hopes of finding love during a two week house party at Selbourne Castle. But what no one knows, is that she’s already lost her heart to a rogue who stole her first dance and her first kiss.

Lucian Zachariah Edward, Viscount Luckfeld, returned to Selbourne Castle in hopes of a glimpse of the woman who reminded him his stone heart could still beat. Only to find out that he’d be sharing a roof with her for a fortnight as a potential suitor for her hand. But Luc carries a secret that makes marrying for love an impossible dream.

All Luc wants is to keep his distance, but Miss Jeanette proves irresistible.

Despite his deeply held secrets and his confession that he must marry an heiress, Jeanie will make him an offer he can’t refuse. Will she forsake her respectability for Luc? Or will Luc do the impossible and find a way to marry Jeanie and save his family's legacy, too?
