About this ebook
Lord Hubert Challenge married Mary for her money, but she wants more from her handsome husband—and before long chaos reigns in their unhappy household. Flirtations with others spark jealous outbursts, attempts at seduction go awry, and it soon seems clear that a generous dowry does not a happy marriage make.
But Mary is willing to take on any challenge—and that includes the stubborn Lord Challenge—in this feisty tale of wooing and warring, originally published under the name Marion Chesney.
“The best of the Regency writers.” —Kirkus Reviews
