Joanna Sollers has been pining after Sir Roger Danby who wants fame, fortune and that includes a rich wife, but Joanna is an orphan and a recent marriage has her uncle with a son, and now she won't be inheriting anything he's content to have her as a mistress, but she wants more. When she's offered a choice between Roger's illegitimate brother and a much older man she takes a chance on Hal. But can she forget her love for Hal Danby? Can the two of them talk about their lives and learn from each other with trust?

There were times when I just wanted to yell at them and tell them to talk but overall it was an enjoyable read. ( )
