O n e

When Penelope is forced by the powers that be into an arranged marriage, she decides flee.

Flee from her cocooned, unencumbered life to a post as a housekeeper for the Devil incarnate-or so people call him-a man she fervently dislikes.

Lord Hawthorne, or Satan himself, has no love for the spoiled, irritating daughter of a formidable countess. But he needs a housekeeper, and Penelope just might help him get one.

It will be a simple, loveless transaction...as long as they're able to resist each other...
