Noah Winters, the eighth duke or Anselm, needs a wife.
But not any wife will do- she must be mature and not give
to the flights of fancy and emotion of the other young
ladies of the ton. Lady Araminthea Collins will do- she
is has composure, she doesn't do anything to draw
unwanted attention, is pleasing to the eye and not in a
position to be choosy. So Noah is surprised when Lady
Thea asks for a kiss before considering Noah's proposal.
Thea Collins is surprised by Noah Winters proposal. She
knows that she isn't his first choice and doesn't feel
she is duchess material. But as a companion whose charge
is of marital age, and a family in financial distress,
Thea has few choices open to her and soon finds herself
the duchess of Anselm. But marriage is not the civilized
arrangement that either of them bargained for.
Grace Burrowes weaves a compelling story of two
characters finding themselves married in haste and
learning about the life of marriage. As Thea and Noah
wade in the waters of matrimony, you can't help but keep
reading to see how their marriage develops. Burrowes has
you
cheering for both characters from the first paragraph as
Noah bungles his marriage proposal, and Thea learns to
find herself worthy of being the duchess of Anselm. Noah
is a constant surprise to her- from his affinity to pets
and the family he cares and provides. He also seems to
genuinely want Thea to be his wife in every way and they
way Noah and Thea find their way is a delight. Grace
Burrowes tells a great story of relationships with a
story that has you rooting for them with every page.
Noah Winters, Duke of Anselm, exercises the pragmatism for
which he's infamous when his preferred choice of bride
cries
off, and her companion, Lady Thea Collins, becomes his
next
choice for his duchess. Lady Thea's mature, sensible and
even rather attractive-what could possibly go wrong?
As a lady fallen on hard times, Thea doesn't expect tender
sentiments from His Grace, but she does wish Noah had
courted her trust, lest her past turn their hastily
arranged
marriage into a life of shared regrets. Is His Grace
courting a convenient wife, or a beautiful disaster?
