Devon Sheridan, the Earl of Huntingdon, needs money desperately. The easiest way to get it is to marry a rich American heiress so he can pay off his debts and restore his crumbling estate. He approaches Nathaniel Pierce and asks to marry his daughter, Georgina. Nathaniel knows his daughter wants children, and sees this as a way to get her settled with a titled gentleman. Even though Gina wants to marry for love, she also wants to see her father happy and knows that a successful marriage will do that. After a quick wedding, Devon is surprised to find that Gina is far different from his first wife. He enjoys spending time getting to know Gina and thinks this marriage may turn out well. That is...until he finds out that the Pierce fortune is gone and there will be no marriage settlement.

As usual, Lorraine Heath writes a pleasing historical romance with fabulous characters. Devon has a strict adherence to society's rules. As a member of the aristocracy, appearances are everything. He is lord of the manor and does not work for his money. Gina thinks this is ridiculous since he is in dire need of money. Their different philosophies and opposite outlooks make this story an enjoyable story. Gina is a heroine without a selfish bone in her body. She wants to help her husband and his children with their problems, even though he blames her for her father losing her fortune. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
