A Lady of Breeding — Delia Ellis

"IN MY EXPERIENCE, MEN MARRY EITHER BEAUTY OR MONEY, AND WHEREVER POSSIBLE, BOTH!"

Lucy Tiversley believed her unruly red hair, freckles, outspoken nature, and lack of fortune removed her from the Marriage Mart. She thus decided her diverse education could land her a position as a governess.

Unfortunately she also landed in a somewhat compromising position with her new employer, Alexander Came, Seventh Earl of Sheldon. That gentleman vowed to protect her reputation and marry her immediately.

The outrage! How dare this vile snake decide her future. But when the rakish, unflappable Alex made up his mind, not even strong-minded Lucy could change it. Their union was considered the mismatch of the ton -- but no one dreamed it might become a match made in Heaven!
