Description
Tabitha Timmons has never needed to heed her aunt's warnings about unwanted attentions. As a penniless spinster, she's been content with her solitary life. However, when she inherits a vast fortune payable only upon marriage, Tabitha finds herself at the mercy of respectable Mr. Barkworth - a match that promises little excitement. But then, the Duke of Preston appears on the scene, drawn to Tabitha's rebellious spirit and determined to save her from a passionless union. The Duke's interference in Tabitha's life is relentless, and soon she finds herself torn between the security offered by her fortune and the promise of happiness with the enigmatic duke. As their paths continue to cross, Tabitha must decide what kind of happily-ever-after she truly desires. With its blend of romance and wit, this novel tells the story of a young woman navigating the complexities of love, family, and social expectations in 19th-century England.
