The Spinster's Secret

Society had long ago declared Miss Alice Huntington a spinster, but Alice is quite content to remain on the shelf. While other women seek the love of men, she prefers to remain alone in the comfort of the gardens so as to guard her heart, as well as the secret she keeps and has vowed to never tell. Johnathan Blackmoore, Earl of Lidenburg, cares nothing of the gossip and rumors of his roguish ways. To the Earl, women are merely a distraction as he works on expanding his ever-growing wealth. Although Johnathan has seen the longing for love in the eyes of many women, he has learned that money is the only love he will ever need in life. When an opportunity arises for Johnathan to close a lucrative business deal with Alice's father, there is a catch. Johnathan must pursue the clumsy and serious woman and convince her to give herself freely to him in marriage. The opportunity to become one of the wealthiest man in England is too great to ignore, so he readily accepts the challenge. How difficult can wooing one obstinate spinster be? As the two begin to court, however, conflicts arise, and neither Alice nor Johnathan is willing to surrender to the demands of the other. Yet, for this marriage of convenience to move forward, one must surrender. The only question remaining is: Who will be the first to concede and admit defeat?
