Never While the Grass Grows

Mills & Boon presents the complete Betty Neels collection. Timeless tales of heart-warming romance by one of the world’s best-loved romance authors.

Would it really be a convenient marriage? Lucas van de Weijnen didn’t ask Octavia to marry him—he told her. Octavia’s father had just died and she wasn’t in any state of mind to make a rational decision. Besides, Lucas wasn’t a man to take no for an answer.

After the wedding, Octavia found herself falling in love—with her husband! Although they had both promised to love each other for the rest of their lives, she had no idea how Lucas felt about her.
