<P><B>A charming delightful new regency romance series from author on the rise Anna Bennett!</B></p><P>She needed a husband of convenience. She got her one true love instead....</P><P>Miss Fiona Hartley’s huge dowry should have ensured that finding a husband would be quick. True she’s a tad older than the average debutante and spends too much time sketching brutally honest character portraits. She desperately needs a husband so she can access her dowry lest the man blackmailing her reveals a secret that would ruin her family. So desperate in fact that she’s willing to do the unthinkable — propose marriage to the most surly irritable gentleman in town....</P><P>As a matter of principle David Gray the Earl of Somerdale avoids two types of women: those who are obviously desperate and those who are stark-raving mad. And it soundly appears Miss Fiona Hartley is both. Yet David can’t help but be drawn to her and gives her a test — if she can spend one week in his dilapidated estate — the same one that caused his previous fianceé to jilt him — then he’ll consider her proposal. But as the week goes on Fiona’s refreshing wit finds a way into his heart. What started out as a marriage of convenience has turned into love...but will Fiona have him for the rest of her days?</P>
