Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton, returns from the Peninsular War to find himself faced with the necessity of providing for his sisters and settling his father's debts. A wealthy marriage is the only answer to such problems but, with his affections already engaged, Adam at first sees little merit in the arrangement proposed by the plain-speaking Jonathan Chawleigh. Practical, yet shy, Jenny Chawleigh knew Adam was not in love with her - but how she wished he could be... One of Heyer's quieter novels. He's not quite so titled, she's a wealthy commoner. He spends most of the book thinking he's in love with someone else. He doesn't realize until the very end of the book, and after the birth of his child, that he loves his wife and it is a quiet, comfortable love. Not a grand passion. And she -who has loved him quite a lot - has settled for that. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Can the wrong bride become the perfect wife? Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton, is madly in love with the beautiful Julia Oversley. But he has returned from the Peninsular War to find his family on the brink of ruin and his ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt. He has little choice when he is introduced to Mr. Jonathan Chawleigh, a City man of apparently unlimited wealth and no social ambitions for himself-but with his eyes firmly fixed on a suitable match for his only daughter, the quiet and decidedly plain Jenny Chawleigh.

A lovely, gentle story, there is little action in it but a great deal of introspection for the characters.
