Description

An outsider among Newport's debutantes, modest Anne Foster was the perfect choice to fulfil the desires of at least one man. But Henry Owen's intentions were far from honorable -- marriage was merely his last recourse to secure his inheritance. For a time it gave Anne a chance to dream -- until she was abandoned and discovered her first love's true motive... The perfect wife has devised the perfect revenge: become a jewel among her peers, draw her errant husband back into her arms -- and show more break his heart. Yet nothing is as simple as it seems... show less

He married her to inherit, this is not a review plot line for a book but then he divorces her, something that is a scandal for a woman in those times do this makes his actions particularly cruel. By the end of the book I didn't know who behaved worse, they deserved each other.
I added this to my to-read shelf initially because I thought it would be a nice, angsty BBW read, but turns out the heroine has to get skinny in order for the hero to love her. No thanks.
