Publisher's summary

The Bellamy family has four months before they'll lose the roof over their heads. While Phoebe's older sisters venture out into the world to earn the necessary funds, Phoebe herself stays home to care for her younger siblings and parents. But then she meets Viscount Needham, a wealthy new peer, and everything changes.

When Phoebe learns that her father is determined to marry one of his daughters to Needham, she knows it's time to act. She can't imagine saddling any of her sisters with the brutally handsome upstart. So, she does the unthinkable and proposes to Viscount Needham herself . . .

Paul Needham attended the best schools, belongs to all the proper clubs, and can buy and sell half the House of Lords and still have money to spare. Yet the ton still treats him with disdain. Marrying one of their own is the fastest way to legitimize his place in society. But that doesn't mean that he has to like his bride. Their marriage will be nothing but a mutually beneficial business arrangement.

Except it doesn't feel like a transaction when Phoebe is in his arms . . .

They are complete opposites with nothing in common. Is love enough to bridge their two worlds?

Contains mature themes.

Good overall

Very good performance..which moved the story quickly. If you like romance novels, you'll be happy with this story. Good guy, good girl, a little misunderstanding and some sex...all works out well in the end.

Unbelievable Hero

A 19th Century British industrialist would never have been the benevolent employer Paul was depicted as. I also found his controlling and jealous behavior creepy, not loving. Phoebe was more believable and her younger brother was a charming addition to the story. I hope Hyacinth’s book is more enjoyable.

A great read and listen

Well narrated and written. The complex plot with its abundance of characters makes putting the book down very difficult.
