The Cost of Honor

Vows are made to be broken when an innocent beauty and a worldly rake agree to wed -- but not to love

THE UNLIKELY COUPLE

Christopher St. Charles, the Earl of Hartford, was the most sought-after lord in London. There was no luxury he could not afford, no woman he could not win, no pleasure he did not indulge in.

Miss Juliet Barre was his absolute opposite. This Vicar's daughter was country raised, duty bound, and totally devoted to the good of others.

To the earl, the idea of marrying an unseasoned miss like Juliet was laughable. To Juliet, the notion of putting herself in the hands of a man like Hartford was unthinkable.

But now it seemed they had to wed -- and the question was who would gain the upper hand in this union of experience and innocence...and whether love could conquer all...

Hero: Christopher St. Charles, Earl of Hartford
