A witty tale of passions and practicalities in Regency England from the "powerful and wonderfully perceptive" RITA Award-winning author (Mary Jo Putney, New York Times-bestselling author of Lady of Fortune).
Sally Paul is down to her last penny. As she spends it on a cup of tea -- to stave off being at the mercy of the workhouse -- the last thing she expects is an offer of marriage... from a complete stranger!
Admiral Sir Charles Bright's seafaring days are over -- and according to society, that must mean he's in need of a wife. Discovering that Sally's in need of a home, he offers a solution... They marry in haste. But will they enjoy their wedding night at leisure?
"It is always a joy to read a Carla Kelly love story. Always original, always superb." -- RT Book Reviews
"Kelly has the rare ability to create realistic yet sympathetic characters that linger in the mind." -- Library Journal
