Summary
As the eldest daughter of a gentleman farmer, it is Charlotte’s duty to marry and, if at all possible, marry well. When the opportunity to accompany Lady Worcester during London’s Season presents itself, she is ushered into a world where only two acceptable roads lay before a young woman: matrimony or spinsterhood.
Sidney Parker is a successful businessman decidedly not in want of a wife. In fact, the only prospect more unappealing would be to become saddled with a witless and unworldly country girl for the rest of his life.
