Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When the Ministry of Marriage arranges a match, all that matters is power, wealth and prestige. In the business of marriage, there is no room for love. But even the most prudent plans can go awry…
A CONVENIENT MARRIAGE Jane, Lady Roxdale, has endured one marriage of convenience decreed by the Ministry of Marriage. While she deeply regrets her late husbands death, she is relieved to be free at last. But when a dissolute rake threatens everything Jane holds dear, she must contemplate marrying a second time…
AN INCONVENIENT PASSIONDisgraced libertine Constantine Black inherits his cousin Roxdales land and title—while Roxdales prim widow is left all the wealth. Constantine is not a marrying man, but wedding Jane is the only way to save the estate from ruin. Jane resists the smoldering heat between them, desperate not to fall in love with an unrepentant rake. But for the first time ever, Constantine wants more than seduction. He wants all of her—body, heart, and soul… Review:"In Brooke's entertaining first Ministry of Marriage Regency, the heads of England's most powerful families form the soi-disant ministry in order to engineer mutually advantageous betrothals. Jane, the newly widowed Lady Roxdale, is horrified to learn that her husband left his fortune to her but his property and custody of his six-year-old cousin to the new Lord Roxdale, Constantine Black, the 'blackest of the Black.' Constantine wants to restore his reputation after years of scandal by marrying Jane and reuniting the halves of the Roxdale estate, a plan the ministry strongly supports. Jane is terrified of another unhappy arranged match, but Constantine is very gentle in his seduction, and each scene is more sensual and passionate than the last. Readers will enjoy the rowdy fights and lovemaking as Jane and Constantine learn to trust each other against the intriguing backdrop of the ministry's meddling.
