The Perfect Arrangement

Christian Masterson has just become the Duke of Warwick, and the men of his family have a habit of dying young: his father, his eldest brother, and the brother who was meant to be the spare all gone in their thirties. He needs a wife, and he needs one quickly.

When the seemingly dying "Mister" Masterson offers Lady Lillian Prentiss an arrangement that promises her lifelong independence, it looks, on paper, like the perfect solution for them both. It would have been perfect, too, if Lillian hadn't gone and fallen in love with the man she was only supposed to be marrying for convenience.
