Eleanor froze. A thousand disconnected thoughts flew through her brain. A huge part of her screamed that this was the miracle she’d been longing for. Lord Whittonstall had asked her to marry him. But she also knew she didn’t want him offering out of pity. She had her pride.

‘Is there something wrong with marrying me?’ Ben stared at Eleanor Blackwell.

The perfect solution to his problem and to hers. Mutual assistance.
