The Baron’s Marriage Gamble by Theresa Romain

He needs a wife. She needs an escape. Theirs would be the perfect marriage of convenience—if she didn’t love him…

Jane Tindall has loved Edmund, Lord Kirkpatrick, as long as she can remember. And Jane remembers everything, from cards played to the wisest chess moves. But her wiliness fails her when she gambles against a cheat, losing a fortune along with a chance to begin a new life.
Enter Edmund, in desperate need of a wife and heir due to a threat from the past. He proposes a bargain to Jane: he’ll cover her debts if she’ll marry him. She’s like a younger sister to his best friend, and he expects they’ll have a pleasant life together, because…well, he’s pleasant to everyone, hiding secrets and wounds under determined kindness.
But Jane won’t be satisfied with less than his whole heart—and her attempts to win it shake up everything Edmund thought he wanted. As they confront his troubled past together, all Jane’s daring and all Edmund’s care won’t be enough to protect them—unless their marriage of convenience becomes a true love match at last.
