Love Without Warning

When Love is Found Unexpectedly

Miss Lydia Browning was the daughter of a wealthy tea merchant.  Contracted to marry The Earl of Harwick when she was ten, Lydia tried everything to get out of the arranged marriage to the Gentry she found old and boring.

The Earl bought Lydia for a bargain price; now, her dowry was five times greater than when the contract was first reached.  All would be grand if Lydia did not despise Lord Harwick, so how was the Gentleman supposed to strike up a conversation when all Lydia did was scowl and run away?
