Produktbeschreibung

Who declared that every young lady of a certain age must surely wish for a husband? And why must a handsome bachelor, in possession of a fortune, be the obvious candidate simply because he lives next door?

In the quiet countryside of Lincolnshire, Christine Grey is perfectly content with her life of spinsterhood, finding solace in the companionship of her beloved animals. In the tranquil routine of her days, she spends her time with married friends and puts up with her brother, who would try the patience of a saint. Satisfied in her habits and independence, she asks for nothing more.

Sir Alexander Thorne arrives in Horncastle, a newly minted knight and owner of the long-dormant Gracefield Park. His aspirations to prove his worthiness lead him to pursue the life of a country gentleman, and through it, a clash with his pretty neighbor. His arrival stirs well-meaning friends to plans of matchmaking, and skepticism in Christine's heart.

When circumstances force them into a compromising situation, they have no choice but to face the necessity to wed. Even as they fight against their fate, the connection between them deepens until they find it difficult to ignore. Christine wonders if her hopes for a happy marriage are too presumptuous, particularly when he had been forced to offer for her in the first place. Alexander must grapple with his own insecurities as he strives to be the husband a woman as worthy as Christine deserves.
