Miles Ripley, Earl of Severn, is being hounded by him mother and sisters to marry a suitable lady they have already picked out for him. But, Miles doesn't want to spend the next fifty years fetching for the charming beauty. He makes a wish for a dull, quiet, plain woman who can live in the country and provide his heir, without interfering with his bachelor lifestyle. The lady of his dreams arrives the next day, and he proposes, believing she is exactly what he wanted. Abigail Gardiner wonders if the Earl is sane, but is so desperate to provide for herself and her half-sisters that she accepts. This was a very enjoyable book.
