Description

Fans of Bridgerton will fall in love with Julia Londons New York Times bestselling witty, spicy, and funny (Library Journal) Desperate Debutantes trilogy, in which three aristocratic sisters, upon discovering they are destitute, resort to desperate means to keep up appearances...and find the husbands of their dreams.

The young ladies of the Fairchild family have just learned that their stepfather has absconded with their late mothers fortune. Ava, the eldest, decides to take matters into her own hands and hunts down the notoriously wealthy rakehell Jared Broderick, the Marquis of Middleton and heir to a dukedom.

Much to her shock and delight, the marquis sweeps her into a whirlwind romance and proposes marriage. But after their passionate wedding night, Ava discovers Jared has ulterior motives of his own. Not only does he expect her to deliver an heir while he continues to enjoy a rogues life, but Ava also suspects she is a pawn in her husbands quest for revenge.

Marriages of convenience might work for some, but for Ava, a loveless bond wont do. So she devises a bold plan to confront her husbands demons so that he will be free to give her his heart for the right reason: because she is the only woman he will ever truly desire.
