ABOUT THE BOOK
Nora Ellsworth, darling of London society, has her choice of eligible suitors, but since childhood, she has been expected to marry Jonathan Browning, a gentleman whose wealth and stability will someday secure the futures of Nora and her mother and sister. The family estate will pass to an odious male cousin upon the death of Nora's father, and when he suddenly takes ill, her need to marry well becomes vitally important.
As Nora struggles with the idea of marrying without love, she finds herself increasingly drawn to Devlin Fausett, a man with dark eyes and intriguing conversation. But Devlin's reputation as an indebted gambler is difficult to ignore. Despite rumors from the ton and the marriage decision before her, Nora is determined to befriend the dashing Mr. Fausett, and his charms soon make it all but impossible for her to remember her duty. Until she learns the truth of her fortune. There is a way to keep her family's estate, but the price is high: Nora must wed as soon as possible. Torn between two very different men, she must make the ultimate decision. Will she be guided by her head or her heart?
REVIEW
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Mr. Fausett and Nora are both quite sympathetic, likable characters. Nora is a bright, cheerful sort of person, who dearly loves her family, but wants a husband who doesn't mind talking about subjects other than fashion and the Ton. She's quite shocked when she discovers just how desperately her family needs her to marry. And her parents choice is Jonathan Browning, a young man she likes, but isn't so sure she can love.
Mr. Devlin Fausett is a pleasant, kind man with a gambling addiction. He really likes Nora but knows that his bad habits and debts make him an unworthy choice for her. But he can't help taking advantage of her friendship when she offers her help in overcoming his addiction.
A sweet love builds as Devlin and Nora start as friends and slowly become more than that. Nora's troubles with her sick sister and desperate parents combine with Devlin's gambling struggles to create a believable set of circumstances.
