No man is ever going to tell Penelope what to do--no way, no how, not ever! To avoid marriage she is willing to enter into a false betrothal with a man who despises marriage as much as she does, only to discover it seems she loves the one man who cannot love her. This book was originally published as a Traditional Signet Regency in 1998 and it's the first of the books with Uncle Frederick--a character who was both beloved by many readers and considered controversial by others.Heartland Critiques--5 Gold Stars--"...Quite a wonderful finale to this family with the characters remaining true....""This frothy delight has rare appeal and freshness for the Regency connoisseur."--RT
