About this ebook

A free-spirited beauty makes a wedding vow not to love, honor, and obey in this Regency romance by a New York Times–bestselling author.

Miss Jennie Bemyss was in a position that any intelligent young lady would envy. The wealthy, worldly Marquis of Charrington proposed a marriage of convenience that would leave him free to pursue his pleasures, and leave Jennie free of his undoubtedly depraved desires. 

At the same time, handsome charming Guy Chalmers, whom Jennie had loved since childhood, proposed to aid her in enjoying her freedom to the fullest. Jennie should have felt relief at being left alone at last by a man whom she should properly despise. She should have felt even happier to be courted by a man whom she had so long adored. Why, then, did she feel so confused?

    Another Regency romp by Marian Chesney. The wealthy Marquis of Charrington marries innocent Jennie Bemyss purely for convenience thinking he can provide Jenny with material luxuries and he can go off and pursue his bachelor interests.. Meanwhile, Guy Chalmer, whom Jenny has loved since childhood, proposes all sorts of ways to amuse Jenny - ways that no married woman should agree to.The problem is, is that the Marquis plans go awry. The Marquis finds himself falling in love with Jenny. How the two of them finally come together makes for a frothy tale.
