Widowed on her wedding night, an ordinary woman is plunged into a world of scheming and misadventure in this romantic comedy set in Edwardian England.

Married off to an elderly earl, Susie finds that her romantic daydreams don’t match her reality—but a twist of fate saves her from her lecherous new husband and leaves her with a fortune . . . along with a meddling mother-in-law determined to transform her into a lady worthy of London society.

There is no shortage of suitors for a wealthy young widow, but Susie yearns for genuine passion, not grasping greed. Perhaps she can find it with the attractive Sir Giles—if only he could be convinced that she isn’t a seductive schemer out for herself . . .

Previously published under the names Jennie Tremaine and Marion Chesney, this rollicking tale by the New York Times–bestselling author follows the fortunes of a delightful heroine in her rocky search for true love.

“A romance writer who deftly blends humor and adventure.” —Booklist

3.0 out of 5 stars (Scratching My Head)

Not sure if Giles and Susie ever did fall in love, he was fickle and she was an airhead. Parts were pretty funny, especially the circumstances leading to her first husband’s demise.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do yourself a favor, and JUST SAY NO!
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2021
This book was terrible. Seriously, WTF and just... NOOOO! The only thing okay with this book is the narrator.

*SPOILER ALERT*

Dude!!! She married the guy who was supposed to be in love with her but who also accused her during a ball (and whole heartedly believed it btw) of being a murderer! That's like halfway thru but it just keeps getting worse. At 4 mins left until the end, the heroine has been unhappily married for months, is convinced she's in love with someone else, tries to get said married man to run off with her (he says "ha ha, no") and then she's like, I guess my husband isn't the worst? and I'm sorta attracted to him suddenly so hooray? ... what a happy ending!?!

I cannot agree with the positive or even ambivalent reviews. And I normally love books by Marion Chesney/M.C. Beaton despite the characters typically being vapid/silly/superficial! They normally make me laugh! But ugh, I despised this book. The sensibilities presented are decidedly old fashioned. If you're okay with your author/characters negligently dismissing straight up rapists, painful/unwilling spousal sex, infidelity, etc., then go for it. Buy the (audio)book. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and JUST DON'T.
