Because of You

A reckless rake returns home, richer, but not completely reformed...and soon finds himself wed to the vicar's daughter. But is he worthy of the love of this innocent temptress? Or will this be a marriage in name only?

A SCANDALOUS WEDDING

Pretty Samantha Northrup knew her duty was to marry, but this orphaned vicar's daughter wanted to be swept off her feet by someone whose kisses made her toes curl. She never dreamed her orderly life would be turned upside down when a mysterious stranger came knocking on her door one stormy night. And when they were found in a compromising position, she found herself marrying a man she barely knew . . . but couldn't resist.

A NOT SO CONVENIENT MARRIAGE

What Samantha doesn't know is that her unknown bridegroom is Yale Carderock, the disinherited son of a duke, banished by his father years before. Now the prodigal has returned --- rich, but only somewhat reformed. Yale is bewitched by his bride's innocent fire, and he knows he's powerless to resist her awakening sensuality. But is this outcast from society worthy of her tender love?
