If only Miss Linnet Berry Thrynne hadn't been caught kissing a prince. But the town has quickly conspired to believe Linnet to be with royal child

- so she might as well make her desperate father happy by consenting to wed a beast. A brilliant surgeon with a reputation for losing his temper
- & a wound believed to have left him... incapable
- Piers, Earl of Marchant, should welcome a bride-to-be carrying a ready-made, blue-blooded heir. Piers isn't fooled by the lady's subterfuge, & though Linnets devilishly smart & lovely, there will be no wedding of beauty to beast. Still, Linnet finds the gorgeous brute intriguing. & it's obvious to the naked eye that 'incapable' does not mean 'uninterested'. This book has 344 pages & is 17.7cm x 10.7cm x 2.2cm
