About A Private Understanding

Enchanting Claudia Taverer had not lost her heart to the man she wed, she had lost a game of cards. She had wagered her hand in marriage against a fortune that her family desperately needed, and aristocratic Lindsay Allister had won her as the wife he needed. Claudia kept her, bargain, and so did Lindsay. His marriage vow was that he would not make her make love, and he did not. But what neither of them bargained for was Lindsay's devilishly handsome cousin and wicked rival, Andrew Stoner, the Earl of Strait. What the irresistible Earl wanted, the Earl usually got - if only he could convince the intelligent Claudia she'd be luckier in love than in cards ....
