In an unforgettable debut, Lisa Berne introduces you to the Penhallow Dynasty—men destined to marry, but hesitant to love.
Wealthy and arrogant, Gabriel Penhallow knows it’s time to fulfill his dynastic duty. All he must do is follow “The Penhallow way”—find a biddable bride, produce an heir and a spare, and then live separate lives. It’s worked so well for generations, certainly one kiss with the delectable Livia Stuart isn’t going to change things. Society dictates he marry her, and one chit is as good as another as long as she’s from a decent family.
But Livia’s transformation from an original to a mundane diamond of the first water makes Gabriel realize he desperately wants the woman who somehow provoked him into that kiss. And for all the ladies who’ve thrown themselves at him, it’s the one who wants to flee whom he now wants. But how will he keep this independent miss from flying away?

Lisa Berne read her first Georgette Heyer book at fourteen, and was instantly captivated. Later, she was a graduate student, a grantwriter, and an investment banker, but is thrilled to be returning to her roots and writing her own historical-romance novels! She lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest.
REVIEW:
Gabriel obciously has some learning to do when it comes to his woman, "...to Gabriel’s astonishment, she let out a wrenching sob and clapped both hands over her mouth. Good Lord, what had he done? Had he actually driven her to tears? Was he as bad as all that? She certainly had seemed, only a few minutes ago, very relaxed in his arms, all firm and soft and womanly and delectable..." Gabriel could be so thoughtful, “are you sure you’re up for it? That is, you’ve been ill, and knowing you you’re probably starving. Shall I ring for food? Of course I’m happy to wait until you—” I loved this book, I loved that Liv would challenge Gabriel.
