About The Wicked Proposal
The Husband Hunt Lady Penelope Winthrop knew exactly what she wanted in a husband. The fair-haired beauty did not seek a mate who was wildly attractive or sinfully rich. All she wanted was a man who would go with her to the altar and afterward leave her completely alone. Penelope had the wealth to purchase such a perfect partner. And she had the most sophisticated lord in London, the Earl of Harford, to help her with her shopping spree in the marriage mart. With the exquisitely elegant, extraordinarily handsome, and totally cynical Harford as her guide, how could she go wrong... unless she found herself not only in his hands but in his arms....
