The Substitute Countess

Book excerpt: She has nothing to lose if he is lying—aside from her virtue… Jack Worth lives a life of roguish adventure, money-making schemes and ever-changing women. He'll be damned if he settles down and finds a wife…until he inherits a noble title and estate—but without the riches. Distant cousin Laurel is the unwitting heiress to all the money. Brought up in a Spanish convent, and longing for a family of her own, she's prepared to enter into a marriage of convenience. Finding a home in Jack's arms is more than she could have dreamed about, but deception and mistaken identities test her newfound love to the limit.
