His parents' loveless relationship has left silk merchant Jonathan Harcourt suspicious of marriage. But in order to expand his mill and have an heir he must marry his neighbour, Aurelia Upford. Even more surprising than finding himself with a clever, beautiful society wife is the unexpected passion that flares between them and the unsettling emotions it leads to. Sharing a bed was part of their arrangement-but can Jonathan risk sharing his heart, too?
