The Arrangement

This book is 3 different stories, each written by a different author. All are historical, set in Britain.
Mischief and The Marquess by Sylvia Day
Justin and Sophie knew each other as teenagers. About ten years later, Justin is a Marquess and Sophie is widowed with a young son. Their mothers arrange a visit so they can get re-acquainted, but it is an aim at match-making. Sophie feels they be no more than friends as her situation as a mother is not a suitable wife for a Marquess. Justin throws all caution to the wind as he admits it’s always been Sophie. She’s the standard he held all other women to. This story is a steamy romance with much detail to the sex scenes. Fans of Sylvia Day will recognize her writing.
