Oh, I disliked Carlotta immensely when this started. She was a less than stellar mother, and was wallowing in her breakup from a man who used her body, but didn't want to marry her.Along comes the man, now an Earl, that through his disobeying of orders caused her husband to be killed in a battle.He wants to help her son and has always had a "thing" for Carlotta. Not that he acted on it, because he really IS a kind man, an honorable man.He is enchanted now that he's met her again. And he really wants to help her with her son.To his surprise, he asks her to marry him and she accepts. She does confide that it's based on the fact that she has NO money and marriages do thrive even under such conditions.He's ENCHANTED. Then he finds out about the man that used her. And, of course, he blames her...and leaves.I was impressed at how much Carlotta grew in this story. She was incredible self involved to begin with, but then she started looking outside of herself. She began to be a real mother, and then she wanted to be a real wife.It was a journey, that's for sure!Well done!
