Gilbert Parsons’ life of privilege feels artificial, frivolous and empty. Frances Snowley shows him just how much when they meet for the first time.
Frances’ life is turned upside down when both her parents die in a short period of time. She’s confronted by the bureaucracy of society when she’s required to take a husband.
In each other they will have exactly what they both want and need. But conspiracy, social demands and time seem to have a different plan.
Will they choose marriage-of-convenience or marriage-of-love?

In this beautifully written novella, we are introduced to Frances and Gilbert and their story. This is the first book that I have read by Anne. It was phenomenal, I could not put it down! The characters are well written and the story line is fast paced and relatable. It is mostly light hearted, with strong female characters. I did not want this novella to end! I can not wait for the next book in the series!
