With a bankrupt and crumbling estate, Lord Ashurst’s situation is well known to the ton. He needs a wife, and she must be rich! He leaps at a marriage of convenience with heiress Rosa Ingram. She may be beautiful, kind and brave, but after discovering the truth about her past and family wealth, he’s torn by his sense of honor. Should he marry her now?
I really liked this story. Helen did a excellent job with this. In the past the way to get married wasn't like today. William and Rosa's story gives you an insight of what marriage was about back then. You could grow to love your mate as time went on but not always. I liked how she added some suspense to the story. It kept you guessing as what would happen next. There was just the right mix of mystery and intrigue going on. I look forward to reading her next book.
