| Dulcie is the youngest daughter of the Duke of Rothshire. She believes herself to be thick and plain looking and has learned to live with the fact that men do not find her attractive, this is her fourth season, and not one man has courted her. So when her long time friend Jackson takes notice of her, and begins to fill her dance card with the hints toward marriage she is ecstatic. Until she accidentally finds out her parents asked him to court her.
Jackson Cornell, Marquess of Torningate, has loved Dulcie for as long as he can remember. So when her parents request that he marry her, he jumps at the chance and is determined to show her how wonderful they could be together, especially behind closed doors. However, when she finds out about his and her parents arrangement, she is crushed and humiliated, so she runs to her family’s country estate. He follows her with the sole purpose of making her understand. But can he convince her of his love or is it to late and her hurt too deep? S. J. Ronayne has written a story of insecurities, scandal and love in a time when love was a rare thing. This is such a touching story. I found myself unable to put it down; from the very beginning I felt Dulcie’s pain and Jackson’s love and their struggles to be together was wonderfully written. This is an excellent story, which will keep the reader enthralled to the very end. It will definitely be a keeper.
