Miss Grace Alnott is in a pickle. She needs her dowry to save her brother from a vile guardian. In order to do that, she has to marry a man with a title.
Everett Hetherington, new Earl of Westbury, was the spare. His father and brother have left him with almost nothing. He needs money to pay debts as soon as possible. When he sees Grace and learns of her circumstance, he believes a miracle has happened. The two agree to marry and split the dowry, but Grace has to live with Everett for six weeks.
I love the concept of this story. Two people who are insanely attracted to each other find love when they don’t want to. They both have other problems to solve where love or passion would complicate it all. There is so much I loved about this book, but I don’t want to give anything away. It is a sweeping love story where Grace fights tooth and nail not to give in to her husband’s desire.
This is my first read from Eve Pendle and I believe it is her first historical novel. She is going on my must read list. I can’t wait to read more from Eve! Get working on more historical romances!
I received this book for free. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
