New to wealth and to London high society, American heiress Cora Dove discovers that with the right man, marriage might not be such an inconvenience after all. . . .
Cora Dove and her sisters’ questionable legitimacy has been the lifelong subject of New York’s gossipmongers and a continual stain on their father’s reputation. So when the girls each receive a generous, guilt-induced dowry from their dying grandmother, the sly Mr. Hathaway vows to release their funds only if Cora and her sisters can procure suitable husbands—far from New York. For Cora, England is a fresh start. She has no delusions of love, but a husband who will respect her independence? That’s an earl worth fighting for.
Enter: Leopold Brendon, Earl of Devonworth, a no-nonsense member of Parliament whose plan to pass a Public Health bill that would provide clean water to the working class requires the backing of a wealthy wife.  He just never expected to crave Cora’s touch or yearn to hear her thoughts on his campaign—or to discover that his seemingly perfect bride protects so many secrets...
But secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface, and Devonworth has a few of his own. With their pasts laid bare and Cora’s budding passion for women’s rights taking a dangerous turn, they’ll learn the true cost of losing their heart to a stranger—and that love is worth any price.

      As the born-out-of-wedlock daughter of an American mogul, Cora Dove skirts the edges of New York society. When she learns that her inheritance depends on marriage, not maturity, she is forced abroad to find a suitable match beyond the reach of the scandal. Armed with a list of attributes for the ideal aristocrat, Cora arrives in England determined to find husbands for herself and her two sisters. Leopold, the Earl of Devonworth, is also in the market for a marriage of convenience, one with a wealthy wife to fund his political aspirations. Cora and Leopold make a mutually beneficial business deal, but neither realized that love might become part of the bargain. St. George (The Duchess Takes a Husband) begins her "Doves of New York" series with this richly detailed Victorian romance. Narrator Saskia Maarleveld shines as the intelligent, independent American heiress. Her expressive performance captures each moment, from sexy to sincere, and yields an enchanting listening experience. VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a steamy transatlantic historical romance about a marriage of convenience that becomes much more. Recommended for fans of Evie Dunmore, Lenora Bell, and Grace Burrowes.--Lauren Hackert
