If y'all have not read Jo Beverley before, then please,
start here and now. A true master of her craft and a gift
to our genre, this posthumously published book, MERELY A
MARRIAGE, is an
excellent example of why.
If you're a fan of second chances, this is a charming and
witty spin on it. They each want the other, but are in no
way willing to take the emotional risk that's necessary
in order to admit that. Watching them play out their
prescribed game is deeeeeeelightful.
I'm writing this as vacation season is in full swing. If
you're looking for a book for that final plane flight or
lazy day by a pool, and like your distraction to include
witty banter, strong characters, and corsets, then please
look no further than MERELY A MARRIAGE.
The New York Times bestselling author of The
Viscount Needs a Wife returns with another roguishly
delicious Regency romance...
As England mourns the death of Princess Charlotte, Lady
Ariana Boxstall has another succession in mind. Her brother,
Norris, is a strapping young man, but he’s also happily
unmarried and childless. Norris agrees to take a wife on one
condition: that Ariana take a husband first. Although she
realizes she risks a lifetime in a loveless marriage, for
the sake of her family, Ariana accepts his challenge.
When the Earl of Kynaston met Ariana eight years ago, he
broke her heart. Since then, his own heart has been broken,
and he’s sworn off love...until he sees Ariana all grown-up
and his resolve is threatened.
Could Ariana’s bargain with Norris actually lead her to
happiness? With real love on the line, she must win over the
one man who refuses to be had.
