The Convenient Duke (The Marriage Mandate #1) by Beatrix St. John – Free eBooks Download
Description:
Matthew Wright, the rakish heir to the Duke of Vaughan, has revelled in a life of carefree indulgence, avoiding any hint of responsibility. But on his 25th birthday, his father delivers a sobering ultimatum: marry and secure the family legacy or face the harsh reality of financial ruin. Desperate to salvage his lavish lifestyle, Matthew embarks on a quest for a marriage of convenience.
Catherine “Cat” Balfour, with her unconventional family and charming menagerie of animals, had come to London in hopes of finding a husband to lift her family from their financial distress and provide them with the stability they had always lacked. Unfortunate for her that she has been unsuccessful in finding even a single suitor…that is until she crosses paths with the drunken heir to a duke who offered her exactly what she has been looking for.
The arrangement would be simple: Matthew would provide for Cat’s family, and Cat would satisfy Matthew’s need for an heir. It was a straightforward arrangement, devoid of the messy emotions that complicated a marriage.
As they escape to the tranquillity of the countryside, their carefully constructed agreement begins to crumble in the face of their undeniable attraction. Their burgeoning desires soon spiral into uncharted territory, challenging the very foundation of their pragmatic alliance. Love, they once believed, only led to heartache. Yet, as their hearts entwine and passions ignite, they find themselves on a tumultuous journey of lustful desires and deepening emotions that proved that a marriage of convenience could be anything but convenient.
