Publisher's Synopsis
Miss de Bourgh wishes to inform those Christian gentlemen of good reputation and having in their possession a title, as well as solvent and accurate financial reports, that she is willing to accept correspondence and calls with the intent of reaching a marriage arrangement.
Alexander Madoch is delighted to read Anne's announcement in the paper. Six years earlier, she had soundly refused his offer, claiming she was not yet ready to marry, and he was not good enough. Although he has every intention of marrying Anne, he has no intention of telling her of his improvement in standing or his financial state. He is determined that both should be kept a secret so that should she choose him, it will be for love.
To Anne, it had seemed simple enough. Place an advertisement in the paper, interview the gentlemen who responded, and select the best husband. But nothing is as easy as it seems. Indeed, many things are quite the opposite of how they appear. How is a lady to find a safe and secure marriage when her ideals are turned on their head ─ especially when her heart yearns for a man who is wholly unsuitable?
