Brenn Owen, the new but impoverished Earl of Merton, is looking for a bride - one rich enough to finance his estate. When he meets Tess Hamlin, he sees a woman who is not only wealthy, but a dazzling beauty as well. To his surprise, Tess quickly accepts his proposal. But behind her eagerness lurks a secret she will do anything to hide from him. As the Earl and his bride begin their life together, their path is a passionate one, but far from smooth: haste must give way to patience and understanding. Virginia Leishman's narration heightens the drama of each colorful exchange between the lovers.

Millions of fans agree with Romantic Times when it praises Cathy Maxwell for being an author "who understands the human heart and whose stories touch our souls". Her novels are filled with dashing, daring characters, yet their desires are universal.

Critic reviews

"Maxwell...makes good use of her trademark clean, crisp prose style, weaving a reverse gift-of-the-magi tale set in the Black Mountains of Wales and starring two engaging and lusty protagonists." (Publishers Weekly)

An enjoyable evening spent listening to the book, nice narrator. I won't say it is the most memorable, but light and breezy.

Nice reliable historical romance.

I hated Tess’s attitude but towards the end she came around. I love happy endings and some future details. Well done!

This is one of the more intelligent romances that I've listened to lately - a novel with a story that can stand on its own if the sexy bits are removed, Very pleasant story and nicely read. The intro worried me as it was read with an American accent, but the actual story was read with an English accent, so I was relieved. I also enjoyed the setting and Welsh characters.

One of the better romances & has a storyline

Excellent story with two secrets that are cleverly hidden.
Fairy tale ending… literally.
A bit drawn out and silly at the beginning but gets better if you hang in there
A reverse rags to riches story

Love the ending

I really wanted to finish this book as the story almost immediately caught my interest. Unfortunately I could not get past the Mouth Noises made by the Narrator. Besides the awful sounds, she has a lovely voice. I would have enjoyed this book otherwise.

I enjoyed this book as it had both a decent storyline and an excellent reader when compared to other romances.

I didn't care for this one as much as the stories for Leaha and Ann. I didn't really understand Tess' character so I couldn't identify with her or be sympathetic. it felt like she was the cause to all her problems. Worse, she did nothing to mend the violation from her brother. It didn't seem realistic they would have both gotten over the deception so easily. But what really ruined it for me was the thieves, her brother & SIL got away without any consequences. The narration was ok but I couldn't warm to the story once I realized justice was never going to be done.

Disappointing

A "nice" story about a fortune hunter who marries a supposed heiress who keeps secret the fact that she has lost her fortune. They fall in love anyway and live happily ever after. The end.
There are better ways to use your credits!

Just an OK listen
