Synopsis
She needs to find a husband but in truth would rather not...
Miss Emily Sinclair has just answered the summons that will change her life. On the eve of spinsterhood, she is offered a month to find a willing gentleman or suffer a marriage to her stepmother's odious cousin. Neither choice seems palatable.
He wants to remain a bachelor and is weary of marriage-minded misses...
Lord Brandon Davenport has had more than enough of marriage-the infidelity, the gossip, the inconvenience. It has all reaffirmed his conviction to never involve himself in such a predicament.
Of course, need and want are very different matters...or are they?
When the two find themselves grudgingly paired in the ambush of highwaymen, temper is matched equally with desire, leading Emily to realize that Brand is the perfect prey for her husband hunt. But is Brand too cagey to be caught in her trap?
Booklist
At 25, Emily Sinclair considers herself a spinster, hence free to pursue her own adventures. But her father and bombastic stepmother have other ideas: she is to be married in one month's time to her stepmother's nephew. Aghast, she agrees to marry with the stipulation that if she finds someone else in the meantime, she can marry him instead. Emily is determined to cram as much adventure as she can into her one month of freedom, and as she sets off in the rain to her good friend's house, she literally runs into a tall, dark, and handsome stranger. Brandon Davenport, viscount Ashwood and confirmed bachelor, can't get over the unconventional sprite who nearly runs him over. Pretty and rude, she sparks his imagination. Neither knows the other's true identity as Emily gets Brandon involved in her escapades, and it takes them longer than the reader to figure out the obvious solution to Emily's problem. Emily's joie de vivre is contagious, and Goodnight's romance is irresistible.
