Now there's a new item on the list. He needs an heir-which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar's daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she'll do.His terms are simple: - They will be husband and wife by night only.- No lights, no kissing. - No questions about his battle scars.- Last, and most importantly... Once she's pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own: - They will have dinner together every evening.- With conversation.- And unlimited teasing.- Last, and most importantly... Once she's seen the man beneath the scars, he can't stop her from falling in love.
