When beauty tamed the beast
(Book)

"Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant, lives in a castle in Wales where, it is rumored, his bad temper flays everyone he crosses. He's a Beast. Miss Linnet Thynne is one of the most exquisite young ladies ever to grace London's ballrooms. She's a Beauty. But wait -- there's more! Piers is a doctor: brilliant, lame, and impossible to get along with. [...] Linnet has been involved in a scandalous flirtation with a prince, and everyone in the ton thinks she's carrying a royal child: she needs a husband. .. naturally, she's betrothed to a beast. Linnet estimates it will take two weeks -- at the outside -- to bring the earl to his knees. Piers knows that he will never fall in love, and definitely never marry." --,Author's website
