Description
In Ellen Fisher's charming novel of romance and redemption in colonial Virginia, a tormented widower rediscovers his passion for life with a most unlikely bride.Edward Greyson is one of the most eligible bachelors in the New World--and he couldn't care less. Haunted by the death of his wife, scornful of female wiles, and completely contemptuous of any attempt to bring happiness into his life, the brooding rogue known as Grey hardly considers himself a catch. And yet, if only to put an end show more to his sister's incessant nagging, Grey chooses a new bride after all, albeit one who confounds the expectations of polite society: an ignorant, unkempt, timid young tavern wench.
No one knows better than Jennifer Wilton that she isn't a suitable match for an aristocrat like Grey. And though she can't begin to explain Grey's stormy temperament, one thing is sure: Whatever his intentions, the astonishingly handsome stranger saved her from a life of drudgery and cruelty. To repay his kindness, Jenny vows to transform herself into a ravishing, accomplished beauty, the kind of wife who would make him proud--and the kind of woman with whom he might just fall in love.
Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from other Loveswept titles.

As a strong minded, independent, intelligent modern woman, I should have hated this book but I didn't. To me, books like this are the fast food of the literary world. Full of over the top energy, very little quality substance, yet they leave you feeling oddly satisfied and in the end they are kind of more-ish.
