After the death of her friend Elizabeth Bradstreet, Miss Hilary Compton became Lizzie's guardian. It is clear that Miss Compton thinks Fitch has neglected a child he never knew existed and she intends to right that wrong. Captivated by her charm and wit, the earl proposes a solution: a marriage of convenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eWHICH REASON DOES NOT KNOW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nThough she is only the daughter of a country squire, Hilary is independent to a fault--not the sort to submit to the whims of a handsome earl with a rakish reputation, even if Fitch insists that his service during the brutal Crimean War left him a changed man. Her decision would be so much easier were he the seducing scoundrel she had expected. Perhaps the arrangement he suggests is for the best--if she can keep herself from falling in love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nThis is #3 in Gentleman's Club Series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42956758155480,"sku":"9780821775028","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/HeSaidNow.jpg?v=1655049026","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/he-said-now","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
