The Grand Style — Leslie Reid

She didn't want a loveless marriage -- but could she accept a man who still had to win her trust?
A MARRIAGE WITHOUT LOVE? NEVER!

Athena Lindsay was a very determined young woman. Resolved to escape the confines of rural Kent and an unwelcome proposal of marriage, she quickly accepted her aunt's invitation to come to London -- where she planned to teach art students and secretly become a serious painter.

Lady Hollinwood assumed that her niece had come merely to find a husband. And who was more suitable a match than Sir Giles Wescott, art connoisseur and sought-after rake?

But even the best of plans could backfire. Not only was Sir Giles almost engaged to another woman, but Athena doubted she could trust him enough to take up his offer of assistance in the London art world!

Hero: Sir Giles Wescott
Heroine: Athena Lindsay
