Annabel Winslow is a country girl at heart. She's staying
with her grandparents in London for The Season with the
intention of finding a husband wealthy enough to save her
family from poverty. Annabel dislikes the idea of marrying a
man she does not love, but her sense of duty runs deep.
She's smart, expressive, and her figure is constantly
compared to that of a "fertility goddess."
Sebastian Grey is in limbo. He's next in line to become the
Earl of Newbury unless the current Earl, a despicable,
portly man in his 60's, can find a bride who will bear him a
son. Society is not quite sure what to make of Sebastian —
on one hand he's handsome, charming, and may be extremely
rich one day. On the other hand, he may wind up poor as a
pauper. To complicate matters, the Earl of Newbury despised
Sebastian's father, and consequently hates Sebastian as
well.
When Annabel (quite inconveniently) becomes the object
of both of their affections, a series of whirlwind events
ensues. She knows that marriage to an Earl may be the only
thing that will save her family from ruin, but the thought
of submitting to Newbury disgusts her. And Sebastian's
tempting touch certainly doesn't help. It soon becomes clear
that Annabel must choose between her family's livelihood,
and her one true love...
