A good romance read, with a different type of plot (for me). A woman in her third Season, with the scent of desperation clinging to her skirts, needs to marry a wealthy man for the sake of her family. But she falls in love with a man who is penniless. He is also in love with her. She's fighting her feelings for him, treating him coldly, and thus he begins to think she's not the woman he thinks she is... Set in Regency England.

Sequel to Miss Truelove Beckons.

Arabella Swinley is in a most dreadful position. She has exactly one Season left to find a rich husband--and save herself from a lifetime of mended gowns, empty purses, and mountainous debts. But, alas, Arabella quickly discovers that desperation does not suit a lady. Bachelors who once would have swooned at her beauty now will not deign to ask for a dance.

Arabella still entertains dim hopes for husband. That is, until she loses her heart to handsome Marcus Westhaven. Never mind that he's charming and deeply intriguing--he's simply a nobody. Even worse he's penniless. A match between them would be pure folly. But she can't stop thinking about the man who can offer her nothing...except a love that can last a lifetime.
