YET THAT WEALTH ENDS A MUCH-WANTED BETROTHALEvan Michaelson had known since his early teens that he would marry Claire; his wealthy solicitor father had planned the match quite carefully, lining up the poor noble with his family's fortune to gain a title for his son. When the elder Michaelson suggested that Lord Landsdown consider a longshot investment in the Spanish colonies, he never imagined he would seal his own family's doom and end the dream of marrying into nobility.Evan, unable to sleep as he fitfully worries about losing his love, encounters her at the waterfall, finding her in a most compromising position - and mutual frustration yields to mutual desire. As Claire prepares to be betrothed to a prince far away, Evan schemes to find a way out of the impossible mess that keeps them apart.A BOLD MOVE MAY RISK IT ALL - OR SECURE THEIR LOVETime is not on their side, but perhaps - just perhaps - Evan can convince Claire to throw all convention aside and take control of their destiny by making an irrevocable decision that would shock the ton if known.
