An arranged marriage? Are you serious?! Lady Adalyn is not pleased with the idea of being forced to marry some guy just to help her financially strapped parents. Although it was a common practice in that time, it still doesn't sit well with me in this day and age!
Unfortunately, Lady Adalyn wasn't about to deal with being forced into this arranged marriage so she ran away. It was freezing out and she wasn't exactly dressed for a long track in the snow. Yet, here she is running as quickly as she can away from town. Then she slips and falls onto a not quite frozen enough lake and she ends up dunked in ice cold water. Alas, she might get her way.
Nope, not if the handsome Viscount Bain Cooke has his say. He swoops her out of the water, warms her up and loads her into his carriage. He takes her home to her frantic parents, only to be announced as the man Lady Adalyn is to marry. What?!
Lady Adalyn learns she has to put up with the Viscount for weeks. They end up spending a ton of time together and even learning more about each other. While neither of them enjoy being in the spotlight, they're forced to attend the family Christmas ball. It seems so cruel to end up falling in love with your betrothed, but it seems Lady Adalyn is at a crossroads. How can she be falling for the man she's being forced to marry?!
This novella gets 5 out of 5 tiaras from me! Although I know for a fact that I would never be in Lady Analyn's shoes, it's fun to think that arranged marriages can potentially have love and attraction involved.
