With this scandal, I thee wed . . .
The draw for me was not the same ole plot line of young miss left pregnant and must marry another. The real draw her was how it was all put together. Finding the bad person that created the havoc in Lady Elizabeth Worthingham's life was the holder of this one. Every page turned, each new character met, each new scene entered, every little detail kept moving closer to the why of it all.
Henry was a bit on the slow side. His uptake was a bit appalling for a man that was titled and capable of going to a foreign land and making a fortune. Elizabeth did what was right for her family. She gave little understanding to what she knew of Henry but just accepted things for face value. There are some interesting characters and so intriguing tidbits of other characters.
No one ever said that a second chance at your first love would be easy. No one ever said that finding the truth would fix all the ills of the world. No one said that getting to the end and your HEA would be simple. What will be up next leaves me just pondering the selection from the characters introduced here.
Blurb
The reigning queen of London society, Lady Elizabeth Worthingham, has her future set out for her. Marry well, and marry without love. An easy promise to make and one she owed her family after her near ruinous past that threatened them all. And the rakish scoundrel Henry Andrews, Earl of Muir whose inability to act a gentleman when she needed one most would one day pay for his treachery.

Returning
to England after three years abroad, Henry is determined to make the only woman
who captured his heart his wife. But the icy reception he receives from
Elizabeth is colder than his home in the Scottish highlands. As past hurts
surface and deception runs as thick as blood, so too does a love that will
overcome all obstacles, unless a nameless foe, determined with his own path,
gets his way and their love never sees the light of day...

Elizabeth
hid a repulsed shudder over Lord Riddledale, who stood pompous and proud across
the floor, the ever-present scowl on his face no surprise. No doubt her
stepping out with another gentleman other than himself had put him out of
countenance. She turned back to her sister. “I cannot summon any remorse for
annoying Riddledale. As for Lord Dean, I’ll be sorry to hurt him, but no, I
will not marry him no matter how much his heart breaks over my decision.”
“Could
your feelings change in time, do you believe?” Victoria asked.
“No.”
“No?”
Elizabeth
shook her head. “No.”
“Why?”
She
swallowed the familiar lump which formed in her throat every time she thought
of him, the man she refused to name, even in her own thoughts. “I’m not the
loving kind. I don’t believe it’s healthy to rely on such feeble unstable
emotions when someone is entering the marriage state. Men and their need to be
adored, looked up to in awe, can go hang. Lord Newland’s name protects me now.
I have no need to marry again.”
Victoria
threw her a dubious look. “I believe there is nothing purer and good than love,
especially if you are fortunate enough to have it in a marriage.” Her sister
sighed, the sound tinged with sadness. “You promised Papa you would try.”
“I
am well aware of what I promised Papa, but he did not stipulate marriage is
what I should try. I’m friendly and affable. That is enough.”
