Borrowed Dreams

THE PROPOSAL
Driven to undo the evil wrought by her dead husband, Millicent Wentworth must find a way to save her estate and free the innocent people her husband enslaved. Her only hope is a marriage--in name only--with the notorious widower, the Earl of Aytoun.

THE GROOM
Devastated by the tragic accident that killed his wife and left him gravely wounded, Lyon Pennington, fourth Earl of Aytoun, is tormented by the accusations that blame him for his wife's death. Filled with despair, he lets his mother lure him into a marriage of convenience--for the sake of a goodhearted woman on the verge of financial ruin.

THE DESIRE
Under Millicent's gentle gaze, Lyon's strength begins to return and his wounded heart begins to heal. Beneath that unruly beard and grim demeanor, Millicent discovers that Lyon just may be the most handsome--and caring--man she's ever encountered. For the first time in years, she realizes that she is alive--alive with a smoldering desire for her husband...
