Intolerable

Lady Cassandra Westbrook must marry this Season—her father, the formidable Duke of Evesham, has decreed it. Except every suitor bores her, save the one man she can’t have. Ruark Hannigan, Earl of Wexford, is her brother’s best friend, an Irish charmer her father openly detests. Ruark is also bound by a promise to his dying father.When Ruark agrees to pose as a suitor to draw notice to Cassandra on the Marriage Mart, the fake courtship works far too well. However, one stolen kiss in a dark cupboard at the Phoenix Club leads to secret meetings neither can resist, and the line between pretense and passion vanishes entirely.Now the Season is waning, the duke is arranging an “acceptable” match, and Ruark must watch other men court the woman he wants beyond all reason. Honoring his vow means losing her. Breaking it means defying a duke. And doing nothing has become intolerable.Perfect for Readers Who LoveBrother’s best friend and best friend’s sister hidden romanceFake courtship that turns into real loveForbidden love with a disapproving duke for a fatherCharming Irish rogue hero in Regency LondonStolen kisses and secret meetings during the Season
