Devon Rivard is furious when he finds out his brother has once again accrued a large gambling debt that must be paid off now. With the family home near bankruptcy, Devon must accept Claire Curran's hand in marriage to clear the debt. Claire is an innocent pawn in her uncle's scheme, and there is nothing she can do but marry this stranger. Devon and Claire pledge to annul the marriage as soon as the debt is cleared. But when they become friends living under the same roof, both begin to think that this marriage business may be just the thing they need.
This was an interesting historical romance set in Colonial Williamsburg. Claire and Devon are both interesting characters who I kept hoping would soon drop the idea of an annulment, since it was clear they were both in love with each other. Devon's family is very memorable and their story has some twist and turns. My rating: 4 Stars.
