Beschreibung

Could you choose between love and duty?

Rumours fly, and the future is grim for the Thorne family when the Viscount Alexander Thorne passes away, leaving his two daughters at risk of not marrying well and receiving no dowry.

But the Briars, a neighbouring family blessed with riches but who bore only sons, are prepared to present them with an opportunity: a betrothal pact between the two respective households, instating that the firstborn from each family would wed and bear children, ensuring that the Thorne sisters' dowries would be provided for and that the Briar lineage would continue.

When Olea Thorne, the firstborn in a set of twins, leaves the agreement in ruins by running off with the stable boy and marrying for love instead of duty, the responsibility now falls upon her sister, Tansy, to marry the eldest son, Avis Briar- the most uncouth and obnoxious man on earth...who is head over heels for the wrong sister.
