Originally published in 1997 it is one of my favorite books by this author. Throw in a belligerent Duke and a frosty homecoming and we have Balogh at her finest. We are handed a marriage of convenience between a damaged Rake and a down on her luck governess. Grab a hold of the tissue box, this is a very emotional novel as only the inimitable Ms. But after Charity agrees to this mockery of matrimony, she soon discovers a startling fact: She has fallen for Anthony, and breaking their marriage vows may also break her heart. In exchange, Charity’s family will receive the money they desperately need. The arrogant aristocrat has made it painfully clear what he wants: a wife who will enrage the father he despises and then disappear from his life. Miss Charity Duncan has no illusions about Lord Anthony Earheart’s proposal.
