Description
In this witty Regency romance, newlywed Nell Cardross finds herself caught between her demanding husband’s insistence on financial responsibility and her loyalty to a charming but reckless brother whose gambling debts threaten to overwhelm the family. While Nell fears that her marriage is founded on convenience rather than affection, the Earl of Cardross is equally convinced that she values his wealth more than his love. Misunderstandings, concealed debts, family pressure, and social obligations test their relationship as they struggle to communicate honestly. With its elegant period setting, sparkling dialogue, and incisive observations of marriage and class, the novel offers a delightful portrait of love obscured by pride and deception.
