I also have the three other books in this series: The Princess, The Countess and The Temptress
An enjoyable read.

The dashing rogue is in mo hurry to marry---until his family dares him to find a bride...or risk losing his inheritance. So Rowan sets out on a Bride Quest, vowing to wed only... The Heiress. His journey is interrupted when a slave merchant offers to sell him a ragged peasant girl who carries herself like a queen. Intrigued and never imagining she is the sought-after Bronwyn of Ballyroyal, an heiress in disguise, Rowan buys her, offering her his protection if she will lead him to the bride he seeks. Never has he met a woman so proud, so beautiful, so defiant. He suspects she is no commoner and vows to uncover her secrets and melt her fiery resolve.
