Plot Summary of The Husband List
"Lady Gillian was forced against her better judgment to be married again before her birthday in order to inherit a more-than-usual fortune from her dead relative, which means she has only two months to convince the Earl of Shelbrooke to accept her proposal. However, the Earl may need more than convincing, and to cajole him into this marriage of convenience will be far from being convenient. Of course, Richard Shelton is more than willing to accept the proposal, however his demands are more than conditions to Gillian. To be able to fall in love one more time is undoubtedly the last thing Gillian ever wants. Thus Lord Shelton will have to convince her to become his wife in the fullest sense of the word before his secrets explode into a line of scandals that may very well destroy the last possible chance for him to ever get his lady.
