Bartered to Viscount Hudson Becker by her father, Lady Lavinia Holbrook escapes her arranged marriage and travels to her Godmother, the Duchess of Chauncy to seek asylum. Determined to put men and marriage behind her, she is unprepared for the duke's interest or his heated kisses. The Duke of Chauncy believes love is a weakness and refuses to take a bride despite his mother's scheming. When the duchess makes a wager he will marry by Christmas, he considers the matter a lark. Until Lavinia gets under his skin, and he rethinks his position on love and happy ever afters.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed this story. Lavinia took her future into her own hands, running away to prevent a marriage she did not want. Her escape was aided by her friend and led her to Oliver. He had no plans on getting married despite his mother's wishes and machinations until Lavinia arrived. Their connection changed both of their conceptions of love and marriage. A slow start to this story continued to a faster pace and a wonderful couple in love.

I received a copy through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
