Rejected at every turn and growing older, Annabelle agrees to marry the man of her father's choosing, believing this will lead to a comfortable life free of complications.

I liked this book very much. It's a very sweet love story, with a few mystery twists near the end, very fast pacing and heart-warming. The hero was so tender and caring, the heroine though not perfect was not stupid or hauty either. She is eager to learn from her mistakes and become a better person and good wife even if she has to lose her beauty to realise that it's the inner beauty that truly counts. I really came to care for both and found their insecurities both realistic and endearing as well. Highly recommended.
