Hugh Prentice has never liked Lady Sarah Pleinsworth,
and his opinion is confirmed when he overhears her yammering
on about how she must get married this season or she will
simply die. He's never had patience for dramatic females,
and the words shy and retiring have never been in Sarah's
vocabulary. Besides, even if he did grow to enjoy her
company, it wouldn't matter. A reckless duel has left this
brilliant mathematician with a ruined leg, and now, unable
to run, ride, or even waltz, he could never court a woman
like Sarah, much less dream of marrying her.
Sarah has never forgiven Hugh for the duel he fought
three years earlier, the one that forced her cousin into
exile, nearly destroying her family. But even if she could
find a way to forgive him, it wouldn't matter. She doesn't
care that his leg is less than perfect, it's his personality
she can't stand.
But when the pair is forced to spend a week in close
company they discover that opinions––even those
firmest held––can, in fact, be altered. And when
a kiss leads to two, three and four the mathematician may
lose count and the miss may, for the first time, find
herself speechless.
It sounds like it will be a wonderful interview, and I'm sorry that I won't be home to see it tonight. I enjoyed reading all of the postings, and wasn't aware of Gwen's background. It's quite an accomplishment, and I Congratulate her!! Even though her Parents weren't happy with the path she chose, she should still hold her head up high. She's blazed quite a trail for herself, and for that, she should be proud!!! The book sounds really good, and will make a great read!! (Peggy Roberson 9:52am October 16, 2013)
Looking forward to the new book to supply my Julia Quinn fix; it's been too long! (Carol Baca 10:36pm October 26, 2013)
Julia Quinn's main character slowly warms up to kisses and then the relationship gets going. Sounds like a sizzling drama anchored in romance. (Alyson Widen 6:49pm October 31, 2013)
