Lady Charlotte would rather stay buried behind a book than marry for anything short of love. She's turned down every proposal that's come her way despite a dowry that grows with each failed season as incentive for someone, anyone, to marry her, much to her father's ire. For what is Life without Love? 

Holland Wesley, Earl of Kimberly, has no time for wife hunting. He'd rather be playing cards in an unreputable gaming hell than twirling around ballrooms to catch the eye of an heiress rich enough to save his family name from drowning in debt, or so it would seem. 


But a chance meeting and a single dance might just change the fates of this most unlikely pairing, proving to each other that first impressions can be misleading and life is all about Second Dances.

Rich People Problems by treeziaa

As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.
