Jordan Sinclair, the new Earl of Emerson, finds himself in a precarious position. His older half-brother left the estate and Jordan drowning in debt. He's been given a choice. Marry Odessa Whitehall, daughter of the very man who holds all of Jordan's markers or become destitute. Shunned by the ton her entire life, Odessa has no interest in marrying a lord just to please her ambitious father. She makes herself as undesirable as possible to each potential suitor. However, none of Odessa's clever tactics have worked against the Earl of Emerson. He refuses to be dissuaded. Navigating a courtship neither of them wants, Jordan and Odessa find themselves drawn to each other. Will their mutual distrust push them apart or can they allow their attraction to each other blossom into something else?
