When desperately private writer Imogen George offered to marry Peter Watson it wasn’t just to save a friend but to secure her own future. With her eyesight failing and no other prospects for marital bliss on the horizon, surely it wouldn’t be too horrible to marry without the benefits of love. When Peter gains a title and fortune a week before they’re set to wed, the right thing to do is release him to spare him the burden of her limited future.

Bitter, he’s spent a year away to lick his wounds but found the carefree life of a wealthy man utterly lacking the things he needs most. Returning to Brighton, he discovers the woman he was once to wed has an even greater problem than he’d ever experienced. This time its within his power now to help herand he’ll do it…one stolen kiss at a time.
