Nell Cardross and her husband are madly in love...

But they're very bad at showing it. While Nell believes her new husband, the Earl, married her out of convenience, Giles Cardross worries that his young wife is more interested in his money than his heart.

And Nell's secretive and extravagant spending is becoming a problem...

As she attempts to pay off her brother's never-ending gambling debts, and prevent the Earl's half-sister from eloping with a potentially ruinous match, will Nell's heart of gold lead her - and her marriage - into trouble?

Ratings and reviews

On 2nd reading I fear this is my least liked Heyer Romance. The loverss are ill matched and Miss Heyer fills her tale with every can't and slay expression in the Regency Dictionareyy as well as supplying many historical details of the period and the real people she introduces into the yarn. Useful if (with research) you care to date th he story precisely. Yay for Google

Not one of her best.
