Synopsis
A richly colourful Regency Romance. The eldest daughter of an impoverished but genteel family, Sarah Dagley's coming-out had been something of a disaster. Then came a proposal of marriage from the handsome, rich Lord Wilberton, whom she had never met. It was obviously a marriage of convenience, butwhat was the motive? And would it satisfy Sarah, who had always dreamed of marrying for love?

From Library Journal
After a failed coming-out in London society, with hopes of marriage shaken, unassuming Sarah Dagley happily retires to her family's shabby home in the country and her life of managing the estate and caring for her relatives. Her uncle, a reverend, arranges a marriage of convenience for Sarah with the oh-so-handsome-and-eligible Miles, Earl of Wilberton, who's a bit of a ninny. The bright spot, however, is Miles's cousin Freddy, who's the smartest one of the troupe. Such a tired plot could be workable, but this one is not. The prose is tedious, the characters dull, and the reader wants to shake Miss Dagley and her Earl until their teeth rattle. Paula M. Zieselman, M.L.S., Debevoise & Plimpton, New York
