FREE: Marrying Mischief by Lyn Stone

The listing, Marrying Mischief by Lyn Stone has ended.

Plot: Nicholas Hollander, new Earl of Kendale, returns from a long stint in India when his father dies, only to discover cholera amongst the ship’s crewmembers. Rather than risk discovery on the ship, he installs the crew and begins a quarantine period.

But this does not keep Emily Lovenye, the vicar’s daughter, away. Emily and Nicholas were once childhood friends. Her younger brother is on the estate, having sailed on the ship sent to bring Nicholas home. She is determined to see him.

But once she sneaks in, Nicholas cannot allow her to leave until the quarantine time is over. Still in love with her, and stung by her lack of response to his letters, he determines that she must marry him. Emily, still in love with Nicholas, and hurt by his departure and lack of communication in all this time, reluctantly agrees, but insists the marriage is one of convenience only.

Now the fun begins. Strong-willed Emily is no longer the agreeable playmate Nicholas remembers. Nicholas is a man with secrets…he was employed by the Defense Ministry while in India. Nicholas must end the betrothal contract that has his forged signature on it. And Emily keeps catching Nicholas in little white lies, adding to her mistrust.
