Wedded Bliss
Barbara Metzger
Award-winning author Barbara Metzger delivers a
heartful of bliss with this witty tale of an inconvenient
bride who must convince her groom that love is more
important than convenience… When Robert Rothmore, Earl of Rockford, receives word that
his son has been taken by a neighboring widow, he hastily
vows to enforce the kidnapping laws. But he quickly
discovers that Alissa Henning is no criminal. Instead she
is simply delightful—exactly the kind of woman who’d make
the perfect mother for his sons. Marriage would be an ideal
arrangement for both of them, wouldn’t it? At first, Alissa swore she’d spend the rest of her life
scraping pennies together rather than wed the insufferable
earl and become a glorified governess. Still, she couldn’t
very well let her own children starve—and there was no
doubt that Rockford would give them all a good life. So she
reluctantly accepts his offer…but there’s more to a good
life that what’s in one’s pockets. And Alissa intends to
find out what’s in her new husband’s heart…
