Never Conspire with a Sinful Baron

A fortune hunter meets his match in a wealthy lady with her eye on someone else in the delightful fourth Regency of Miller’s Infamous Lords series (after Never Kiss a Notorious Marquess). Notorious rake Elliot Havenford desires money, not a wife, but to get the former, he has to accept the latter. Lady Nina Trent secretly dreams of following in her brother’s footsteps and marrying for love, but feels obligated to appease her grandmother’s wishes with a proper match and sets her sights on the wealthy Duke of Fernbridge. Elliot, who has known Nina since childhood, has been looking at her differently since a good friend reminded him of the fortune she’s set to inherit. But wooing the innocent but free-spirited Nina will require more finesse than any of his previous conquests. Elliot offers to help Nina land the Duke by pretending to court her himself and inciting Fernbridge’s jealousy, hoping that in so doing he’ll be able to seduce her. Miller weaves a tangled web around her central couple, but their compatibility in the midst of all the jealousy and romantic intrigue never wavers, and smooth-talking Elliot’s secret heart of gold is sure to make romance fans swoon. This is a charmer. Agent: Jill Marsal, Marsal Lyon Literary. (June)
