After being dismissed from her position as a lady's companion (through no fault of her own), Abigail Gardiner decides to ask a remote cousin for help with a reference (so she can find a new position).
The Earl of Severan refuses the reference but proposes marriage. He is looking for someone plain, drab, quiet to marry because his mother and sisters have already chosen someone for him, despite his reluctance. He thinks that Abigail will be the perfect wife to give him heirs and not interfere with his life.
Abigail is overwhelmed by temptation; her family is separated and in financial ruin. The problem I had with the book was the constant neediness of Abigail. She wasn't married to Miles a week before she had collected $6000 (in advance) in pin money. I didn't think this was one of Mary Balogh's better books. 3.5 stars
