title: The Convenient Bride
author: McCarthy, Teresa
description: A Dangerous Liaison
  
  Facing financial ruin, Lord Clayton Clearbrook inherits his uncle's fortune with the stipulation that he must marry within three weeks--an opportunity he dare not refuse. Not many weddings in the ton are based on love, after all-and a bride of convenience would suit Clayton perfectly. Knowing time is of the essence, he sets his sights on Miss Briana Garland, a bluestocking who has adored him since childhood. But to Clayton's dismay, the lady shuns his advances.
  
  Though Briana still has feelings for the handsome lord, she has vowed never to marry. Besides, she has other things on her mind, namely taking part in a secret mission to break up the assassination attempt of the Prince Regent! However, her rejection does not stop Lord Clayton. And as he intensifies his pursuit of her, the lady finds herself falling in love...and in more jeopardy than she ever bargained for...
