The Ice Earl’s Wicked Bargain

A debt he can't ignore. A bride he can't control. A passion that threatens to burn the Ton to the ground. Arthur Devlin, the Earl of Vane, is a man of cold logic and colder ledgers. Known to London society as the "Ice Earl, " he has spent a decade building a fortress around his heart to escape his father's scandalous legacy. He doesn't need a wife; he needs a strategic partner to secure his empire. Phoebe Marlowe, the "Prickly Pear" of the ballroom, has spent four seasons perfecting the art of the stinging set-down.
When her father gambles away the family's last shilling, Phoebe finds herself the prize in a chillingly efficient transaction. She'll marry the Ice Earl to save her sister from ruin, but she won't go quietly.
