About the book
An offer of marriage is empty... unless it comes with love. — MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING... — Despite a longstanding agreement between their families, Addie Winstead has never believed that John Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Claremont, will marry her. The life of a carefree bachelor obviously suits him far too well. Besides, Addie refuses to consider marriage to any man who asks for her hand out of obligation only -- even to Fitzwilliam whom she has loved for as long as she can remember. ...OR VERY MUCH IN LOVE? Fitzwilliam abhors the idea of marriage. He is dismayed to hear that Addie has rejected other suitors -- on his account, he assumes -- a practice that must be stopped straightaway! But when he arranges to meet Addie to discuss the matter, he realizes that she is no longer the girl he remembers from childhood, and now, his awakening heart is forever lost....
