About this book

Beautiful Lady Jocelyn Kendal had two pressing reasons to find a husband. First, she would lose her vast legacy to her grasping cousin Elvira if she did not. And second, the man she adored, the dashing Duke of Candover, refused to take a wife, but had a definite taste for married ladies. In Major David Lancaster, Jocelyn thought she found the perfect husband. For this wounded officer lay on the brink of death, badly in need of funds to support his orphaned sister. Thus the deal was struck, the vows exchanged, all Jocelyn's problems solved - until the maddeningly Major Lancaster made it clear that a death bed was not for him...and that a marriage bed most certainly was.--P. [4] of cover.
