Love and football collide in this slender classic Silhouette romance. Quarterback Brant Asher inherits an English title, a manor, and a host of headaches including one young Englishwoman. He finds himself strangely drawn to the recently transformed swan of an English beauty, and as the pair trade quips and learn to speak each others' language, a marriage of convenience gradually becomes so much more.

Typical 80s contemporary romance. If you like CC, you might like this. All the dialogue and setting is dated (as can be expected).
