Three Chances to Cherish: A Steamy Marriage of Convenience Historical Romance
When a slow-burn marriage of convenience ignites, old vows are broken...and new desires forged.

Years ago, Lord James Harrington, the Earl of Manderly, rescued Miss Evie Ashewood and made her his countess. The union between the proper earl and the shy lady scientist was supposed to be a refuge—until a threat to her life shakes the foundations of their relationship. Now the straitlaced earl is besieged by a decidedly improper longing...for his own wife.

More at home in greenhouses than ballrooms, Evie has always found solace in her studies and did not intend to marry—let alone a gentleman as intimidatingly perfect as the earl. In private, however, James's gentleness stirs yearnings that are both terrifying and tempting. As secrets from her past unravel, Evie must choose between safety...and seduction by her own husband.

All the while, perils lay in wait for the married lovers. Will their relationship survive their village's ancient prophecy? Or will their love be destroyed before it has the chance to bloom?
