Temptation Has Green Eyes

She holds the key to more than a fortune... <P> There's more to love than meets the eye... <P> The daughter of a wealthy merchant Sophia Russell has no interest in marriage especially after a recent humiliation-and especially not to Maximilian Marquess of Devereaux. But it's the only way to save herself from fortune hunters-and those who wish to seize a powerful connection she prefers to keep secret-even from her future husband... <P> Marrying Sophia is the only way Max can regain the wealth his father squandered on an extravagant country palace. And while Max and his bride are civil theirs is clearly a marriage of convenience-until a family enemy takes a questionable interest in Sophia-one that may lead all the way to the throne. Forced to become allies in a battle they hadn't foreseen the newlyweds soon grow closer-and discover a love and a passion they never expected... <P> Lynne Connolly writes Georgian romances with a deft touch. Her characters amuse entertain and reach into your heart. This book is a Must Read. --Desiree Holt
