Michael Tremayne, Marquess of Falconride, needs money and lots of it. So he does what any sensible Englishman with a title would do--he approaches the fathers of wealthy heiresses and auctions himself off! But this marriage of convenience is turning out to be anything but.
Michael’s new wife, Katherine Rose, decided a long time ago never to accept anything less than true love. And if she can’t have that, her marriage will be strictly a business relationship. Michael finds the situation unacceptable, but at the same time finds himself admiring his wife’s quick wit and determination. So he set about doing the one thing he never imagined--wooing his wife.

"I couldn't help being drawn into Michael and Kate's story -both characters had the ability to delight and aggravate at the same time. Lorraine Heath is on my auto buy/read list- she amazes me by her range in plot and her dedication to "the happy ending"."

" What I liked about this story is it was all about two people learning to love each other. There wasn't a mystery to solve, a murder to investigate, and neither one was in any danger. "
— Crystal, 2/6/2014" I would have given this book 4 stars if not; well, I have read othe reviews where the heroine is maligned for her treatment of the hero. I think she was not tough enough. She nursed a broken and now she was been married to a stranger who had made no effort to get to know her or even get her opinion on their marriage and when she asserted her right to get to know him before sleeping with him, other reviewer called her annoying. What was annoying about that? Also, while I understand that woman had little or no rights re money and possessions, she had been made the financial head of the pair. She rightly kept him on a "short" rope given his views about money. However, I think if she had wanted out from under her mother's(who had wanted the aristocratic marriage) thumb and away from an unwated marriage, she could have put money aside and gotten away. "
— Angela, 1/30/2014" I would have given this book five stars had it not been virtually the same plot as To Marry an Heiress which I read immediately prior to this one. "
— Rishi, 1/19/2014" It had many unexpected happenings and surprising turns. I cried several times. "
— Christine, 1/13/2014" No sense of history but a good read. Probably save for reread. "
— Deb, 1/8/2014" Not a fan of Lorraine Heath's writting! "
— Janet, 12/22/2013" Michael Tremayne, penniless Marquess of Falconridge marries American heiress Kate Rose. "
— Marilyn, 12/19/2013" The title did not represent the book in my opinion. Still a good read. "
— Christine, 9/2/2013" This was my first LH book. I like her writing and style. The story flows really well. I thought the hero, although he prized his pride, was very romantic and unselfish. "
— Joyscrap, 8/25/2013" I love all of her books. If you are looking for an easy read, romance then she is great for you. "
— Kristen, 8/15/2013" Loved this one. I enjoyed it better than the first one in the series. "
— Vicki, 8/8/2013" I like these kind of stories where everything turns out alright in the end despite the odds against them. "
— Liz, 10/9/2012" Luke warm read for me. Well written but nothing that had my heart pounding. 3.5 "
— Theresa, 10/3/2012" Better than I expected. I'd read the other two in the series, if I ever came across them. "
— Lauri, 9/6/2012" The heroine was selfish in the beginning, I really didn't like her. She came around later, but still... "
— Eileen, 7/20/2012" good read! 4.5 stars "
— Kathleen, 7/4/2012" Beyond perfection. "
— Arriane, 5/21/2012Lorraine Heath always dreamed of being a writer. After graduating from the University of Texas, she wrote training manuals, press releases, articles, and computer code, but something was always missing. When she read a romance novel, she not only became hooked on the genre but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. She has been writing about them ever since. Her work has been recognized with numerous industry awards, including prestigious RITA from the Romance Writers of America.
Anne Flosnik, a seasoned audiobook narrator, has over four hundred titles to her credit and several awards and distinctions, including AudioFile Earphones Awards, a USA Today Recommended Listening selection, an AudioFile “Best Narration of the Year” selection in 2009, and the American Library Association’s Special Services to Children Award. She has also been a finalist for the prestigious Audie Award for best narration. She is an award-winning British actress with lead credits on stage, on television, and in commercials and voice-overs.
