Though arranged marriages have fallen out of fashion, hers has been settled for some time to combine the upper-middle-class wealth of her father's coal mines with Alexander Osgood's prospering Northern country textile mills. Though not a man prone to romantic gestures, Alexander is well-known as an eligible bachelor. His good looks have turned more than one head, so Isabelle is content to think of herself as Alexander's wife. However, her marriage is not what she expected. Northern England is nothing like her home farther west in the lake country. Cold, dreary, and dark, the soot from the textile mills creates a gray hue that seems to cling to everything in the city of Manchester. Alexander is distant and aloof, preferring to spend his time at the mill rather than with her at home. Their few conversations are brief, polite, and lacking any emotion, leaving Isabelle lonely and desperately homesick. Sensing his wife's unhappiness, Alexander suggests a trip to his country estate. Isabelle hopes this will be an opportunity to get to know her new husband without the distractions of his business. But the change of scenery doesn't bring them any closer. While riding together on horses, Alexander is thrown from his and becomes paralyzed. Tragedy or destiny? The help and care that Alexander now needs is Isabelle's opportunity to forge a connection and create a deep and romantic love where nothing else could.--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Newlyweds $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Arranged marriage $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marital quality $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Paraplegics $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England, Northern $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Proper romance. 941 $a 12 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021907.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064259.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806013402.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013350.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518025016.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20220329010446.0 952 $l FTPA274 $d 20210921010218.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20210821010355.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064222.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210602011505.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210602010244.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210528010030.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F43D7D20BF7911EB9A43D8CE50ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
