Finding a husband…

For the bride he craves!

When Maxim becomes the Earl of Sherborne, he’s stunned to find that his late father’s ward, Louisa Ashworth, has blossomed in his absence.

Headstrong Louisa is determined to marry for love, but the suitors vying for her fortune cannot compete with Maxim, who she’s pined for since girlhood. Yet as the Season begins, a forbidden temptation flares between Louisa and the man who is supposed to find her a husband!
