Tom Maddox would never marry. He's the second son, the spare, and he prides himself on living his life without the confines of society. Baroness Segrave needs a husband for society's sake but she'd prefer he have no opinion at all. Which is why the Earl of Loudoun seems the ideal choice. With no fortune and a drinking habit, he should allow her to keep running her estate while living off the allowance she'd give him.
But Loudoun proves to be both drunk and foolish. Suddenly a husband who is strong, capable, and appreciative of her gifts gains merit in her eyes. A man like Tom Maddox. But how can she convince Tom that he should consider marriage and give up his carefree bachelorhood? Because no matter what anyone else believes, she'd rather the love of a gentleman than a lord.
