About the book
HER MARRIAGE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED IN COLD BLOOD Miss Miranda Sommerby made it quite clear to Giles Lindsey that their marriage would be a matter of business, not pleasure. Only by having a husband could she keep her family fortune out of the grasping hands of her profligate cousin, Hugh Darryl. When after the wedding Miranda learned of the past amorous escapades of the handsome stranger who was now her husband, she redoubled her resolve to keep him a safe distance from any breach of their iron-clad contract. But if Miranda knew how to strike a hard bargain in marriage, she did not bargain on how little she knew --- and how much Giles did --- about love .
