Miss Ada Westlake doesn’t consider herself a fool…but everyone else seems to. Though her family is nearly destitute, she has just turned down another proposal from the best catch in the county. Chas--otherwise known as Viscount Ashmead--has asked many times before and Ada, fearful of ruining their friendship with a marriage of convenience, has made him swear never to ask again.

She appears determined to defeat the possibility of financial salvation at every turn. But Ada doesn’t mean to be foolish--only to uphold her principles…Now, Chas must convince “Addled Ada” to see reason--about the money, and most importantly, about him. Because the greatest treasure of all is true love…… (more)
