But he has returned from the Peninsular War to find his family on the brink of ruin and his ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt.

This is the story of a marriage of convenience that makes me feel how arranged marriages could work in the real world. The couple is marries for financial reasons, they manage to get along with each other and with mutual respect they gradually come to form a loving bond together.
A lovely, gentle story, there is little action in it but a great deal of introspection for the characters.

Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton, returns from the Peninsular War to find himself faced with the necessity of providing for his sisters and settling his father's debts.

A wealthy marriage is the only answer to such problems but, with his affections already engaged, Adam at first sees little merit in the arrangement proposed by the plain-speaking Jonathan Chawleigh.

Practical, yet shy, Jenny Chawleigh knew Adam was not in love with her - but how she wished he could be... (

A surprisingly realistic take on love and marriage. None of her other books are like this. The real romantic feelings are reserved for the pursuit of money. (

One of Heyer's quieter novels. He's not quite so titled, she's a wealthy commoner. He spends most of the book thinking he's in love with someone else. He doesn't realize until the very end of the book, and after the birth of his child, that he loves his wife and it is a quiet, comfortable love. Not a grand passion. And she -who has loved him quite a lot - has settled for that. (

The library at Fontley Priory, like most of the principal apartments in the sprawling building, looked to the south-east, commanding a prospect of informal gardens and a plantation of poplars, which acted as a wind-break and screened from view the monotony of the fen beyond.
