"Charming Regency romance."

American Abigail Mercer arrives in London expecting a warm welcome from the husband she married by proxy. Abby is stunned when Viscount Ravenswood denies any knowledge of their union. Humiliated that she was so easily duped, Abby sees her hopes of marriage fade away. Being half Indian, Abby had received no offers of marriage in America.

Spencer, Viscount Ravenswood, is appalled at the fraud his brother engineered to obtain Abby's dowry and family business. At a critical time in his career, Spencer can't afford a scandal. When Abby appears at his dinner party, Spencer is unable to refute her position. He convinces Abby to masquerade as his wife until he can locate his brother to straighten out the terrible mess and avoid dishonoring his family's name.

A strained relationship ensues as Abby tries to win Spencer's love while he denies his attraction to her and forces Abby to see that she'd be an inappropriate Viscountess. Spencer succeeds only in discovering he's very wrong.

MARRIED TO THE VISCOUNT is a charming Regency that will please Ms. Jeffries' many fans.
