I really enjoyed this little novella.  It's well written, and I really liked the h and H, Dinah and Alex.  The two meet one night when Alex finds Dinah stranded in her carriage, during a storm, and rescues her.  He takes her to a cottage where the two spend the night.  Dinah, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, is heading home where her engagement to a Lord she has never met, is going to be announced.  She is very resentful of the fact that she is being forced to marry a man who has never even taken the time to at least meet her.  She has a very low opinion of her betrothed.  She is very attracted to Alex, so decides to throw caution to the wind; she engages in sexual relations with him.  At the time of the commencement of their affair, Alex is aware of Dinah's engagement and to whom she is engaged.  After their night together Alex has Dinah escorted home, but makes arrangements to continue to have clandestine meetings with her.  It is true that the story was a bit predictable, but that did not IMO deter from its enjoyment.  This was a very nice, quick read.  Perfect length for a bedtime story!
