Miranda Edwards needed to find a husband. On the night that she thought her supposed suitor was going to propose, she instead stumbled upon him with another woman. Now in her third season with no marriage prospects, Miranda had run out of options.
Alexander Archer, the Earl of Carlisle, had zero designs on finding a wife. He had hid away at his estate for five years so that society would never find out his secret. But after being forced into London for a season, he had to come up with a way to get his matchmaking mother to back down from her wife-finding schemes. And Miranda could be the answer to that problem.
Read into My Heart is a Christian romance that focuses on trusting in God in all circumstances.
