The review of this Book prepared by Kim Mills
Beth Armitage is content with her life as a teacher in a school in Regency England, but then she is compelled to marry the heir ot a dukedom to suit the duke's dynastic plans. The heir, Lord Arden, is no more willing than she is. To make matters worse, he is a full-blooded aristocratic male, and she is an early feminist with republican inclinations.
