Horatia Winwood is simply helping her family.
When the Earl of Rule proposes marriage to her sister Lizzie, Horatia offers herself instead. Her sister is already in love with someone else, and Horatia is willing to sacrifice herself and tell a few convenient lies for her family's happiness. Everyone knows she's no beauty, but she'll do her best to keep out of the Earl's way and make him a good wife. And then the Earl's archenemy, Sir Robert, sets out to ruin her reputation...
The Earl of Rule has found just the wife he wants.
Unbeknownst to Horatia, the Earl is enchanted by her. There's simply no way he's going to let her get into trouble. Overcoming some misguided help from Horatia's harebrained brother and a hired highwayman, the Earl routs his old enemy, and wins over his young wife—proving theirs was no accidental marriage and gifting her with a love that she never thought she could expect.
Customer Reviews
Misleading book
This book is misleading, from the 1st chapters and summary it leads you to believe that the main female character is loyal and willing to do whatever it takes to help her sister, but she is everything but that, the main female character is terrible with no redeeming qualities.

This was such a great book! You immediately fall in love with both of the main characters. The Earl of Rule and Horatia are both delightful. This was a great read it always kept you wondering and reading more.
