"YOU CAN'T BE THINKING OF MARRIAGE FOR THE GIRL. SHE'S JUST A CHILD!"
Rosalind McHenry's outrage knows no bounds when her wastrel brother announces a dubious design: he intends to marry off his daughter, Felicity, a mere schoolroom miss, to the worldly Earl of Eberhart in exchange for settlement of his copious gambling debts.
Aunt Rosalind is having none of it. With the help of her long-suffering beau, Waldo, she is convinced she can dissuade the Earl and save her lamb from the slaughter. Determined to wound his pride, she treats the Earl--long doted on by the ton--with the utmost disdain.
What Rosalind doesn't realize is that her real feelings for the Earl are far from disdainful. And that the Earl, though he secretly wishes to make other marital arrangements, fears that breaking off the engagement will send Felicity to a fate worse than Rosalind can imagine....
Hero: Earl of Eberhart
Heroine: Miss Rosalind McHenry
