To convince his father to disinherit him and reinstate his older brother, Terrance, Theodore "Theo" Winslow decides to come home with a totally unsuitable bride. When hiring an actress to play the role of his grasping, vulgar new fiancee proves too expensive, Theo turns to Sallie Ellis' brothel to see if she can spare one of her "girls" for a few days. Without telling Theo, Sallie convinces her cook, innocent, cheerful Molly Sweet, to take the job, because all Molly will have to do is pretend to like Theo in public. At first both Theo and Molly agree that their relationship is nothing more than a business arrangement, but as Theo gets to know Molly better, he finds he now hungers for something a bit more personal with his sweet Molly. With its excellent characterization, polished prose, and humor, Donnelly's latest Regency is a supremely satisfying, deftly plotted delight
