The Bargain Bride

by Barbara Metzger

It was a match made not in heaven, but in pound notes--an arranged engagement between a girl of thirteen and a lord's younger son. Since then, 13 years have passed and as her betrothed has been sowing wild oats, Penny has grown up and vowed never to marry the man who blighted her life and destroyed her dreams. The Viscount Westfield is happy enough to return the dowry and call it off, but only until he sees Penny. Then he knows he can never, ever let her go.
