The Ill-Bred Bride, or, The inconvenient marriage

the long version

"Lord Hanford of Laceby possessed an ancient lineage and even more ancient debts. He was, quite bluntly, for sale. Susannah Potter was in the market. She had recently inherited a tidy sum-and a host of odious fortune hunters. And so their marriage of convenience was made.. Pride clashes with prejudice, and preconceptions must be abandoned if happiness is to prevail, when this Regency baron marries the rich merchant's daughter for her money and she accepts only in order to escape an even worse fortune-hunter.
