Description
Arrogant and disdainful, Sir Charles Delahaye needed a wife to provide him with an heir to carry on the ancestral name, but what he didn't bargain for was falling love with the beautiful Margaret Linden, daughter of a mere merchant. Challenged by Charles, Margaret nevertheless parried his condescending blandishments with the aplomb of a duchess, but all she had to offer was her tantalizing beauty and her parvenu father's fortune. Margaret demanded more than a casual affair with Charles: she wanted to be his wife and bear his name with the dignity and honor she felt was her right. But despite her outward veneer of sophistication she was still fearful of crossing the bounds of convention to claim a prize that might never be hers.
