Mad About the Earl (The Ministry of Marriage)

Love is never quite what it seems. Sometimes it's even better ... Designed to arrange matches of rank and affluence, the powerful Ministry of Marriage has no interest in love. But when does the heart ever play by the rules? A Beast of Burden Lady Rosamund Westruther has no objection to the match arranged for her by the Ministryuntil she meets her intended. Gruff, stubborn Griffin, Earl of Tregarth, is hardly the charming nobleman the classic beauty has dreamed of for so long. While a proper lady can't cry off, she can demand a proper courtship. A Beauty to Behold Griffin is aware of his duty to wedand more convinced than ever that the lovely Rosamund has no place with a man like him. Built for fields and stables rather than drawing rooms, Griffin doubts he can win her in the polite manner society requires. But with every passing day, the attraction between them flares higher and hotter. Maybe there is more to love than meets the eye.
