Description
Have you ever wanted someone who doesn't want you? Miss Josephine Yorke hasn't, at least not yet. The beautiful Miss Yorke has been promised to a stranger for as long as she can remember, but Miss Josephine has no intention of following her controlling father's wishes. Fortunately for Josephine, her would-be-betrothed feels just as she. After a tumultuous first encounter, the ill-tempered Mr. Charles Tennyson entangles Josephine in a scheme. Who better to find a replacement husband, than Charles himself? But Josephine soon realizes, our lists of wants are often not what we need. ********************************** "How will I continue to suffer your company?" Josephine moaned. "I fear you might drive me to bloodshed!" "And I fear you might drive me to madness! But I hope to find you a husband before it comes to that." He studied her a moment, his eyes drifting about her figure, the scrutiny making her feel awkward. "Preferably a husband with keen eyesight, yet deficient in hearing." Josephine's mouth dropped at his inappropriate compliment, followed by an inappropriate insult. *I am going to be a murderess...at least, then, marriage will be the least of my problems.* *************************************
