A friend's newspaper advertisement for a groom nets the most famous actor in London, Arthur Bex. Shy heiress Ester Croome proposes to elope with the handsome man, who she's secretly loved for two years, in order to escape an impending engagement arranged by her overbearing family.

Trying to outlive the shadow of his villainous uncle, Bex needs to marry quickly - to a woman of good character. And smart, beautiful Ester fits the bill. But a harrowing trip to Gretna Green and dangerous abolition rallies prove to be a more treacherous stage than either imagined. Infatuation and a mutual love for Shakespeare might not be enough to bind a couple looking to outrun the chains and secrets of family and the past.

Each book in the Advertisements for Love series is standalone:
* The Bittersweet Bride
* The Bashful Bride

Loved it! I could hardly put it down, metaphorically of course. The characters were intriguing and the story beautiful. I loved that the characters encountered problems and overcame them. I was totally rooting for Eater and Bex to work out. All I wish is that the others in the series were also audio.

Loved It!
