The Marriage Contract

Written by Ruth Ann Nordin

Narrated by Stevie Zimmerman

On her wedding day, Patricia Cotter, the widowed Lady of Pruett, signed a contract agreeing to the following:

1. She would never look at her husband’s face.

2. She would never remove the sheets covering the mirrors.

3. She would never ask her husband about his past.

In return for doing these things, she will have a secure place for her unborn child and her worries will be over. She has nothing to lose by agreeing to her husband’s terms. Yes, she’s heard the rumors about Mr. Stephen Bachman. He was said to have killed his first wife, though there is no proof condemning him of the crime. He is aloof and never leaves his manor. He is practically a prisoner in his own home.

But as she gets to know him, she begins to believe her husband isn’t the beast everyone’s made him out to be. There just might be a gentleman worth loving beneath his hard exterior. The question is, can she get him to let go of the past so he can open himself up to the possibility of a fairytale romance?

Ruth Ann Nordin

Ruth Ann Nordin has written almost 100 romances, ranging from Regencies to historical westerns to contemporaries. She plays with other genres from time to time, but her first love is romance. She has been happily married for twenty-two years to a sweet and funny guy, and they have four sons, who are all taller than Ruth now that they're 16, 17, 19, and 20. The good thing is she doesn't need a ladder. She considers herself very lucky to have led such a charmed life. Being able to play with characters and create stories is just icing on the cake. Hopefully, she'll get to keep doing this many years to come.

Reviews for The Marriage Contract

[Bernice Levens · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book was too long and somewhat boring but got better toward the end of the book. It had started to get exciting at the end. What a waste at what could’ve been a good story if it had started out exciting and only at the end.
