Rachel Fairley wholeheartedly disapproved of her neighbor, Lord William Kingsley, because he had inherited a slavery plantation in Barbados. Rachel thought it abhorrent that his money came from such an inhumane industry. And when she finally met him, he was as impossible as she expected. Rachel's dislike for William intensified when he refused to give her brother permission to marry his sister. But their barbed exchanges spun out of control when they went on a madcap escapade to London to rescue her sister -- and she fell in love with him! But that didn't mean that he could impel her into marriage.

This okay story lacks the fire between H/h that you would expect when a man of his rank quickly decides to marry outside the peerage. even the second time around, it felt disjointed and at some points hard to stay involved. If anything would rerate as a 2.5
