The childhood friend she's always loved has grown into the handsome and eligible Lord Cliverton--the perfect husband for her stepsister! Or so thinks her scheming stepmother. Marrying Peter herself would save him from that miserable match, but Anna Liese has a dilemma. She only wants to marry for love--and Peter sees marriage as purely duty.
