One of the things I love about Jacobs is her unique twist on the typical romance novel. This is yet another example of her skill, & I loved every second of it.Captain Lucas Deverall married Sophie to avoid a scandal (& the pistol pressed against his skull), then angrily abandoned her in favor of war. Six years later he returns, approaching her in a full ballroom without even recognizing her. Sworn to loathe her, he discovers he is in need of her independent wealth. And so begins a most interesting...& oft amusing...courtship.With strong characters, a fun plot, & pages full of witty dialogue & spunky women, this book is worth every cent.
