Petals of the Rose — Juliana Davison

The right man for Rosanna

She was like a rose, drawing the young men of the London ton to her beauty, but Rosanna Shelton spurned all those eager bees. What she needed, she decided, was an older man--one with fewer demands. A suitable husband who would be a pleasant companion and who would give her independence under the protective shield of matrimony, who would set her free, unchaperoned, to enjoy the social whirl.

Rosanna found her man and even signed the marriage contract. Then Charles wandered into her life--invading her dreams, upsetting her schemes, opening her heart like Petals of the Rose
