The Would-Be Widow

Lady Jocelyn Kendal needs a husband quickly to secure her legacy from her grasping cousin. She contracts a marriage of convenience with Major David Lancaster, a wounded officer who desperately needs funds to care for his orphaned sister. The arrangement works smoothly until the newlywed major makes it clear he desires more than a mere business partnership. As they navigate unexpected feelings, their pragmatic arrangement evolves into genuine affection.
