Born with a clubbed foot, she was sent away as a child and, knowing her disability means a marriage is unlikely, she devoted herself to scholarship and education. Now working as a teacher in an elite private girls' school, she is content with the way her story has unfolded. When her uncle Elliott Mayfield presents her with the prospect of a substantial inheritance if she marries, Hazel is offended. What kind of decent man would marry for her money? Besides, she loves her freedom as a professional, respected woman. When she hears rumors of the school possibly being sold, however, she knows she must consider all her options. Duncan Penhale has a brilliant mind and thrives on order and process. He does not expect to marry because he likes his solitary life, shared only with his beloved cat. When Elliott Mayfield, his guardian's brother, presents him with an inheritance if he marries a woman of social standing, Duncan finds it intrusive. However, with the inheritance, he could purchase the building in which he works and run his own firm. It would take an impressive and intellectual woman to understand and love him, quirks and all. Hazel and Duncan believe they have found a solution to both of their problems: marry one another, receive their inheritances, and then part ways to enjoy their individual paths. But when Uncle Mayfield stipulates that they must live together as husband and wife for one year before receiving their inheritances, Hazel and Duncan reluctantly agree. Over time, their marriage of convenience becomes much more appealing than they had anticipated. At the end of the full year, will they go their separate ways or could an unlikely marriage have found unsuspecting love?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Marriage $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Heirs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Disabilities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Regency, 1811-1820 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Christian fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20240627102000.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030244.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20220927012622.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220401030615.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FAEB034AB18111ECB5BF500951ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
