Her Heart, His Masterplan

Sonia Weston was the eldest daughter of a family that had come down in the world, and circumstances put her into an engagement with Aeron Fleming, an heir who spent his money on pleasure. She wanted out of it. She had nothing of her own to bargain with, so she turned to the person who actually ran the Fleming family, Aeron's uncle Skyler. Her plan was to make Skyler want her, and she thought she could watch it working. Skyler had known who she was from the first time they met. She was the woman who had pulled him out of something years earlier, the one he had been looking for ever since. The meetings that looked like coincidence and the openings to flirt were all his arrangement. He was teaching her what it is to love someone and be loved back, and putting himself where she would lean on him.
