About this audiobook

Lord Randolph Gresham has come to London for one reason only – to find a suitable wife. Verity Sinclair may be intelligent, beautiful and full of spirit, but her father knows a secret about Randolph that makes her entirely unsuitable as his bride. Not right for him at all, never, not a chance. Verity knows that Lord Randolph lives in a country parish, and she wants nothing more than to escape to town. He may be fascinating, attractive, rich and the son of a duke, but she'll never marry him, nor will she talk to him, flirt with him, walk with him or dine with him. She'll sing a duet with him, but only this one time, and only because everyone insists. But one duet invariably leads to another.

Lord Randolph seeks a suitable wife, but adventurous Verity has no interest in the rector of a sleepy country town. Yet their mutual love of music sparks an unexpected attraction. Will her father's objections stand in their way? Randolph and Verity are likeable characters who are well suited to each other. Verity is smart and spirited, while Randolph is genuine and caring. Verity's gossipy friends add comic relief. The narration is well done. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received.
