What a Lady Requires by Ashlyn Macnamara is 99c! If this cover looks familiar, it’s because we talked about this impeccably placed towel during the podcast we recorded at RT Booklover’s. The hero is in debt to a wine merchant. To clear said debt, he agrees to marry the merchant’s daughter. As one does. She gets the hero’s social influence and the hero whittles down his debts.

It has a 3.7-star rating on GR.
