The Viscount’s American Bride by Henrietta Harding

Lily Prescott flees America with a broken heart and a dangerous secret. Now in London, she must secure a titled husband to survive, while rumors of her former fiancé’s treachery and his ties to Spain threaten to brand her a traitor. When a witty stranger at a masked ball offers her safety, will she trust him and risk her heart once more?

Yet, the more time he spends with her, the more she becomes a complication he cannot afford and a pull he cannot resist.
Bound by necessity, Lily and Julian enter a marriage of convenience that quickly grows into something deeper. When a vengeful enemy threatens to destroy everything, they must choose between guarding their hearts or fighting for a love neither expected. Will they dare to claim the future their souls have already chosen?
