<br />
<em>She Needed A Husband...</em><br />
<br />
It&#39;s been three years since Laura Hayes&#39;s father died, leaving her and her invalid brother to subsist on the income from the family&#39;s failing perfume business. But time is swiftly running out. What she needs is a husband, and fast. A noble gentleman who can rescue them all from penury. When a mysterious stranger arrives in the village, he seems a perfect candidate. But Alex Archer is no hero. In fact, he just might be the opposite.<br />
<br />
<em>He Wanted a Fortune...</em><br />
<br />
Alex has no tolerance for sentiment. He&#39;s returned to England for one reason only: to find a wealthy wife. A country-bred heiress in Surrey seems the perfect target. But somewhere between the village railway station and the manor house his mercenary plan begins to unravel. And it&#39;s all the fault of Laura Hayes--a lady as unsuitable as she is enchanting.<br />
<br />
From the beaches of Margate to the lavender fields of Provence, a grudging friendship slowly blossoms into something more. But when scandal threatens, can a man who has spent his entire life playing the villain, finally become a hero? Or will the lure of easy riches once again outweigh the demands of his heart?</p>
