To Woo and to Wed - Martha Waters
Tax included.
West, the Marquess of Weston, and Sophie, Lady Fitzwilliam Bridewell, have lately been spending a considerable amount of time together. But West and Sophie are not new acquaintances.
In fact, years ago, they were almost engaged, until West's almost fatal curricle accident and his meddling father threw them off course. Now, having recently lost her husband, Sophie has put aside all thoughts of romance. But when her widowed sister, Alexandra, mentions a fondness for an earl, Sophie realises she may be holding her sister back.
Alexandra won't move forward until Sophie, too, settles down again, and so Sophie approaches West with a plan. They will announce their engagement and break things off once Alexandra is happily married. It'll be simple.
After all, it's not like she is going to fall for West a second time, not when Sophie has sworn not to risk her heart again.
