Bride by contract

Lady Morva Eden is a clear example of an aristocratic family still arranging marriages to keep their standing. When her brother's illegitimacy threatened to strip the family of its title, her relatives looked to her to fix the problem. Morva agreed to marry the new Earl of Howgill, a sharp-minded Canadian millionaire who was known for spotting a good deal. In return, her grandmother would have a home at the family's ancestral estate, and her brother would receive a respectable post. The earl intends to convert Ravenscrag into a profitable tourist destination, but the question remains: what does he want from Morva?
