Book Review By Juli
Whitney, My Love by Judith McNaught

Whitney is special. From the first time her Aunt Anne Gilbert meets her at her mother's funeral, she knows Whitney is a "diamond" rather than the simple cameo her father seems to want. Whitney, grown up a bit, sets her sights on Paul Sevarin and stops at almost nothing to get him, to the point that her father finds no other recourse than to send her with her Aunt and Uncle to France to see if they can make any progress with her.

Once in France, Whitney blossoms, away from the small minded country simpletons that she was raised around. Whitney flourishes and is an instant success. Marriage offers float in left and right, but Whitney refuses them all, and puts off all her most ardent suiters, determined to return to her small village and win the heart of her childhood romance. Little does she know that she's caught the eye of another man, one of great power.

Unbeknownst to Whitney, Clayton Westmoreland, the Duke of Claymore pays a visit to her father. During the visit, a price is set for the hand of Martin Stone's daughter in marriage. The deal is made and Clayton decides to set about courting his bride, there's just one problem. Whitney decides, though she is strangely drawn to Clayton, that she hates him.

Chaos ensues, and eventually Whitney discovers the arrangement.
