    About this series

    From five-time RITA Award winner Jo Beverley comes a scintillating historical romance set in the Georgian age-where a centuries old feud and a wicked curse lead to a most unconventional marriage . . .

    When confirmed bachelor Peregrine Perriam is named heir to Perriam Manor, he discovers that he only has a month to persuade a stranger to the altar. Otherwise the property will be lost and his line will be cursed-forever.

    Having survived her parents' tormented marriage, Claris Mallow prefers poverty to any husband. When a high-born stranger demands her hand, she drives him off at pistol point. Then Perry finds weapons of his own, and the reluctant lady is compelled to accept his proposal.
