Ian Worth needs a wife to avoid marrying a bride chosen for him by his father. Anne Lesley needs a husband to provide her with a home of her own where she can be as she wishes. Neither of them expects to love or even like each other, which is perfect because Worth intends to return to his position in the Royal Navy and leave Anne alone in her new home. But when Worth's overbearing father arrives at the same time as Worth and Anne are meeting for the first time, Worth impulsively lies and tells his father they are already married. Now, while trapped during a storm, they must keep his father from her parents and somehow avoid scandal.This novella worked for me because Worth and Anne were so enchanted by each other. The more they learned about each other, the more they liked one another. They were interested and open, willing to be friends and lovers. They had fun together. As it should in a holiday romance everything worked out wonderfully for everyone, and they all lived happily ever after. Except maybe Worth's father but no one is really bothered about that.(Provided by publisher)
