Books like Rushed to the Altar by Jane Feather
Jasper Sullivan, Earl of Blackwater, learns that his fortune will be split among his nephews only if each marries a rescued prostitute. Facing mortgaged estates, he proposes to the young piercer who tries to steal from him. Clarissa Astley, an orphaned merchant’s daughter, is on a desperate quest to find her brother, who has been taken by a selfish guardian intent on inheriting his wealth. She seeks the Earl’s powerful aid and pretends to be the very type he expects—a vulnerable, innocent woman—thereby setting in motion a dangerous charade. As their fabricated roles deepen, genuine affection threatens to unravel their plan and the stakes of the inheritance. "Rushed to the Altar" blends romance, historical setting, and themes of inheritance, imposture, and the complexities of man‑woman relationships.
