Amelia and Derrick were high school sweethearts until the night of their graduation party when Derrick discovers their relationship has been a lie. Nothing more than a contract to unite two families and save them from bankruptcy.  

Losing the boy she thought was the love of her life on the night of their graduation party was heartbreaking.
Losing her best friend was painful.
Having to throw away her favorite bedding was nauseating.
Having the boy she thought loved her follow her and torture her at every opportunity broke her.

And finding out that it was all for nothing, that all the pain and loss was over money... is infuriating.

One child and one marriage between a Rushford and a Williams is what it will take to set them free. 

Amelia isn't the heartbroken girl from high school anymore. That girl was destroyed. The girl in her place is a mosaic made from the shattered pieces of that girl and she's not going to let anyone break her ever again. 

An arranged marriage between former lovers turned enemies...

*Book Three in the Gentleman's Proposal Series* Ginny Greene is only one London season away from spinsterhood. Having spent all of her seasons thus far pining after the wildly uninterested (and emotionally stunted) William Bancroft, it is now time to focus on marrying a man who might reasonably have her. There is only one problem - William Bancroft has suddenly taken notice of her. William Bancroft has known that he would marry Ginny Greene from the moment he set eyes on her. Now, finally ready for the chase, he finds himself in the unique position of courting a woman for the first time in his life. But Ginny does not merely want courting. No, she wants love. Affection. Easy intimacy. All things that Bancroft knows he cannot offer her. But, bastard that he is, it does not keep him from trying. Content Warnings: This book contains themes of religious trauma, CSA, scenes containing self-harm, and some violence. Note that while Books One and Two in this series can be read separately, this book requires having read both of the others (unless you don't mind being a little confused).
