Publisher Description
Refusing her mother’s decree that she stay with her stepbrother in London for a Season in order to seek a husband was the easy part. Lady Annabella Price simply hid in a derelict old cottage on the estate and sent her maid instead. Between daily battles with field mice and sucking on her last lemon, life has been far from perfect. But Annabella prefers hiding out in the small abandoned house at Wyndham Green to being with the Duke of Wyndham for even a day. At least she did… until the insufferable Lord Seabrook showed up.
Jonathan Durham, Fourth Earl of Seabrook, offered to do a simple favor for his friend: travel to Haselmere to find the duke's stepsister, Lady Annabella Price, and make sure no harm had come to her. What he found was a willful, spirited lady, not a damsel in distress. The impetuous beauty intrigues Lord Seabrook, and he's curious to learn why she's hiding in the cottage. When they’re caught in a compromising position, a hurried marriage seems the logical conclusion. Lord Seabrook sees the marriage as the perfect answer to both of their problems. He needs a wife, and Annabella's mother wants her to find a husband. But how will he convince his unwilling bride to give their marriage a chance when's she's deter-mined to have it dissolved?

Good series mootsies
Great book one of the better historical romance books. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series.
Review
Not worth the read. The only thing that was remotely entertaining was a very small portion of dialogue between the two main characters. The characters were weak and more infatuated with each other than truly in love. There were many sensual references. Some of the scenes were so disturbing that I had to skip a few pages for preservation of my good conscience. The characters swore and in one of the scenes one of the characters became inebriated. Over all, this was not a feel-good, clean, or an enjoyable romance to read.
