Acting upon desperation,
Anne Burnett signs a marriage contract to marry Aiden Black, The Earl
of Tiebauld. Anne has never laid eyes on the man but has heard many rumors
of his rebellious ways. She feels like a hired hand living with her aunt
and uncle so she had no other choice. I admired Anne's courage of making
this bold step into the unknown to start a new life for herself. Aiden
Black doesn't desire a wife but was trapped into this marriage. The couple
does eventually grow fond of each other and settle into married life until
rumors of rebellion circulate and their fate is uncertain.
I found the story to
have a touch of humor in the midst of this serious plot. The characters
bring this tale to life and maintain your interest throughout the book.
