Ravishing the Heiress
Author(s): Sherry Thomas
Millicent understands the terms of her arranged marriage all too well. She gets to be a Countess by marrying an impoverished Earl. And in return, the Earl Fitzhugh receives the benefit of her vast wealth, saving his family from bankruptcy. Because of her youth, they have agreed to wait eight years before consummating the marriage. It is a most sensible arrangement. Except for one little thing. Somehow Millie has fallen head over heels in love with her husband. As the hour they truly become husband-and-wife draws near, both Millie and Fitzhugh must face the truth in their hearts.

More About The Product
"Soul-searing, heartrending, and intensely romantic, this late Victorian historical takes the classic marriage-of-convenience theme to a refreshing new level, making effective use of alternating time periods, as the characters struggle to reconcile duty and loyalty with personal desire and to understand what love really is--and is not. Another exquisitely rendered, insightful romance from one of the genres stars." -"Library Journal"
"Millie's intellect and selflessness make her a standout among a cast of memorable characters in this expertly plotted and emotionally wrenching love story." --"Publishers Weekly "(starred review)
