The friend she's loved

Is now the husband she must resist...

Lady Isobel may be the daughter of the late Lord Martyn, but she's treated by her family as a maid. So when her childhood best friend, Leo Havelock, reveals that he will inherit his fortune only if he marries--immediately!--she agrees to be his convenient countess. Their union offers Isobel the chance to escape her home, but can she escape the feelings that she has long had for her husband?
