Surrender the Dream — Debra Dier

A proper Victorian lady is taught a lesson in love by a roguish Texan.
THE ICE PRINCESS

Jilted long ago by her fiance, Victoria Granger dedicated her life to helping San Francisco's less fortunate -- until her father threatened to disinherit her if she didn't wed by her next birthday. Resigned to making a loveless match, Torrie had no way of knowing that the husband she chose could truly be the love of her life.

One look at Torrie told Spence Kincaid that the cool beauty had more to offer than her proposal to be his bride in name only. Honor forced the handsome Texan to agree to a temporary marriage with the beguiling spinster. But burning desire convinced him that together they could surrender all dreams and capture a life far more rewarding than any fantasy.
