title: One Wilde Night
author: Brown, Stacy
description: A BARTERED BRIDE
  When it came to marriage, Olivia Parker knew better than to expect a love match, but she couldn't hide her outrage when her father bartered her to Brandon Wilde, Earl of Marlborough. Her father's money would satisfy Wilde's inherited debts, her new husband's noble blood would insure the Parkers' entree into the aristocracy -- and Olivia would have precious little chance to protest. Then she spent one glorious night in her husband's arms...and discovered that she wanted to stay there.
  
  
  A RELUCTANT BRIDEGROOM
  But her handsome, brooding spouse seemed to feel otherwise. The morning after their wedding, Olivia awoke at his down-at-heels country estate and found him gone. Well, she wasn't going to let him go, not without a fight -- and as she prepared to follow him to London, she knew exactly how to convince him that passion was not the only thing they shared.
