It was a match not made in heaven, but in pound notes -- an arranged engagement between a girl of thirteen and a lord's younger son. Since then, thirteen years have passed, and as her betrothed has been sowing his wild oats, Penny has grown up, grown impatient, and grown resentful. In fact, she's vowed never to marry the man who blighted her life and destroyed her dreams.Viscount Westfield is happy enough to return the bridal dowry. But one look at Penny and Westfield knows he can never, ever let her go...
Lee P. (USA: IL) (2015/03/15):
When Lord Westfield finally shows up after making his betrothed, Penny Goldwaithe, wait for 13 years, it isn't to wed her, but to try to end the betrothal which had been made by his father and her father. To his surprise, she is no more eager to wed him [handsome and titled though he is], than he is get "leg-shackled". Then the fun begins. Lighthearted and whimsical in parts, passionate and romantic in others, with a touch of villainy from a stepbrother, the plot plays out smoothly. Both hero and heroine are easy to like. Adding another touch of humor, each chapter begins with a quote from a book called "Arranged Marriages".
