The heart wants what it wants...

Diantha Halstow is unlike any other woman in Regency society. With her vast wealth, demure face and beautiful figure, she should be a very eligible young lady. But there is one problem - Diantha doesn't believe in love, and she makes sure every love-struck bachelor knows it. Suitors may try their luck, but Diantha is not one to hold her tongue - something which makes her aunt, Lady Greenbourne, despair of her and her unladylike talk.

Meanwhile, Rexford Lytham has inherited his uncle's title of Earl of Chartridge and with it, the old man's gargantuan debts. It seems that the only way to save Chartridge Abbey and its surrounding tenants is for Rex to marry a wealthy Lady. But Rex is as wary of love as Diantha is. His friends and brother, Major George Lytham, all conspire to match him with Diantha, while Lady Greenbourne believes that a sensible young man like Rex is perfect for her unromantic niece. Yet the two young singletons soon guess their relations' plot and conspire to foil it with a marriage of convenience.

But neither of them are so unreasonable to fall in love with one another - surely? Or are they not as immune to love as either of them thought? As war looms once more over Europe, perhaps reason no longer matters...

Lucy Gordon began working life on a British women's magazine, where she interviewed famous men like Sir Roger Moore, Sir Alec Guinness, Warren Beatty, Richard Chamberlain and Charlton Heston. But since 1984, she has been publishing her romance novels - twice winning the Romance Writers of America RITA Award for the Best Traditional Romance. She is now married to a Venetian artist and together, they have lived in different parts of Italy, though currently reside in her native England.
