β¦ Synopsis
She must marry one of her suitors. But she can't trust either of them.
Miss Phoebe Duvallβs papa is missing and she and her fragile aunt are in dire need of funds. Employment is one option, but when Phoebe discovers she must marry in three months or forfeit her trust fund, she is forced to find a job that introduces her to as many eligible bachelors as possible.
Assisting Charles Addyman with his charitable functions is the perfect answer. But his home, Donhead Castle, is a place of mysteries, not least of which is Addymanβs neighbour, Mr Goodrich. Goodrich swears heβs a friend, but how can Phoebe trust a man who appears as a fop one day, a parson the next, and even attempts to hide from her by pretending to be a statue of a river god?
His earldom and his country are at stake, so he canβt afford to lose his head. Or his heart.
With a sickly sister to support and his familyβs honour to restore, Robert Goodrich-Bligh is fighting to regain his earldom. The charming Miss Duvallβs new employer stands in his way but she refuses to help, even when Robert reveals Addyman to be a traitor. When he uncovers her secret, he offers himself as a husband. That way, each can secure their inheritance and give in to their fierce mutual attractionβthe ideal solution, surely?
But Robertβs plans are thrown into turmoil when Addyman offers for Phoebe.
And she accepts him.
If you like complex, swash-buckling heroes and stubborn damsels who try get themselves out of their own distress, grab this book and read it NOW. And if you enjoy the Marry in Haste theme of the series, you'll LOVE Book #1, I LOVE TO HATE YOU, too.
