Wanted - Respectable gentleman to wed an American heiress. No rakehells.

Myrtle Gray and her sisters have but one job. To aid in the expansion of their family's assets, prestige, and influence by securing husbands with respectable titles. But Myrtle is not sure whether or not she can. With five years on the American marriage mart behind her, how can she be sure she'll have more luck in London than she's had in Texas?

Despite receiving the queen's blessing, she's had no suitors come forth. Not for her, anyway, and as such, Myrtle has found herself on the verge of spinsterhood. Enter Viscount Fredericks. By all accounts, he's not worthy of her interest. He is rakish, with rumors abounding that he's more interested in bedding women than wedding anyone. Add to that his issue of dubious parentage, and he is out of the question. At least he should be...

Samuel Fredericks is in a bind. Some cowards amongst his cousins have challenged his right to his inheritance. He must find someone to wed with haste. Miss Gray, his attractive new American neighbor, is intriguing, but she deserves better than him, a fact he knows from the moment he lays eyes on her.

When a murder victim lands at their feet, will they find the killer before they become the primary suspects? Only time shall tell the tale... but working together to catch a killer forces them closer, and their passion for one another only burns brighter.

Tropes you'll enjoy:

  • Fish Out of Water
  • Forbidden Love
  • Touch Her and Die
  • Frenemies to Lovers
  • The Rake Next Door
  • Whodunit
