The Aristocrat
by Catherine Coulter
#1 New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter shows what destiny has in store for an unlikely pair in this delightful novel.
Pro quarterback Brant Asher has achieved the American dream: fame, good looks, money, and beautiful women at his beck and call. But news from across the pond is about to change everything...
A distant English relative has left Brant an inheritance, which includes a title, an estate, and...a wife.
Daphne Asherwood has always been the wallflower of the family, but she still can’t believe that her uncle had to bribe someone into marrying her—an American football star, no less. She and Brant barely speak the same language, yet when she lets down her guard—and Brant takes a chance on fate—a modern marriage of convenience may turn into happily ever after.
Includes a preview of AFTERSHOCKS.
Originally published September 1986 in Silhouette Special Edition #331 and reissued numrous times.

Catherine Coulter's Bio
Catherine Coulter is the author of 65 novels, including 59 New York Times bestsellers. She earned her reputation writing historical romances. Over a decade ago she added suspense thrillers to her repertoire—with great success. The Cove, the first book in her bestselling "FBI Suspense Thriller Series" spent nine weeks on the New York Times list and has to date sold almost 2 million copies. The Maze, which was reviewed in Publisher’s Weekly as "gripping enough to establish Coulter firmly in this genre," was Coulter’s first book to land on the Times hardcover bestsellers list. Since then, she has lived up to that promise with ten additional back-to-back bestselling FBI thrillers, including The Target, The Edge, Riptide, Hemlock Bay, Eleventh Hour, Blindside, Blowout, Point Blank, Double Take, Tailspin, Knockout, and two omnibus editions: The Beginning and Double Jeopardy.
Coulter’s first novel, The Autumn Countess, was published at the end of 1978. She chose a Regency romance for her debut because, says Coulter, "as any published author will tell you, it’s best to limit the unknowns in a first book, and not only had I grown up reading Georgette Heyer, but I earned my M.A. degree in 19th century European History." Following The Autumn Countess, Coulter wrote six more Regency romances. In 1982 she published her first long historical, Devil’s Embrace. She has continued to write long historicals, interspersing them with hardcover contemporary novels, beginning with False Pretenses in 1988.
Coulter lives with her physician husband in Marin County, California. She grew up in a horse ranch in Texas. She graduated from the University of Texas and received her graduate degree at Boston College. Prior to becoming a full-time writer, she worked on Wall Street as a speech writer. Catherine loves to travel and ski, reads voraciously, and has a reputation for telling jokes, believing the publishing business is too crazy not to laugh.
