Suddenly a Bride by Gayle Callen

Gwyneth Hall has heard the dark rumors about Sir Edmund Blackwell, the man she is betrothed to but has never seen. To save her penniless family from ruin, however, she would wed the devil himself. And this gorgeous, moody “devil” sends a tremor of excitement racing through her when they first meet—sparking the young bride’s determination to turn a marriage of convenience into much more.
Edmund dares never love again after being blamed for his first wife’s death. And while his exquisite new bride fills him with desire, their union is simply a means for him to retain his hard-won lands. Gwyneth is, after all, related to his enemy and therefore not to be trusted. But how long can Edmund resist the temptation of her touch?
