This is a gentle comedy that rocks along happily down the street to tell the reader about a woman who was betrothed for 13 years before her fiancee' came to reclaim her. Only, he didn't come to claim her, he came to pay her papa back her dowery, so Viscount Westfield did not have to marry her.
Penny, in the meantime, has been gathering anger, while her intended has been sowing wild oats. She is so angry with West that she has decided never to marry him -- no matter what. Her father, a greedy banker, however, has other ideas about dissolving the agreement. He comes bearing a special license for an immediate marriage. After blackmailing his daughter and threatening his future son-in-law, the marriage takes place.
As with all of Barbara Metzger's books, humor is in abundance. This is a fun bit of fluff to read anytime life is getting too grim.
