As a penniless earl seeks to marry for money, his heart insists on leading him toward love in this RITA Award–winning Regency romance.

The Earl of Shalford needs to marry into money to save his estate. Wealthy and beautiful Henrietta Buxted should be the perfect candidate. So why does his eye keep wandering to her quiet cousin, Charlotte Wyncroft?
