Like most novellas, this one is a little unsatisfying in its brevity. The story of Colin Hunt was started in one of the School for Heiresses novels where he was a side character, a man of mixed Indian-English heritage who had been cheated out of his rightful inheritance. As this little novella begins, Colin has returned to England to assume his rightful title. He encounters the plucky Eliza as she is "borrowing" one of his horses. The sexual tension expected in a Sabrina Jeffries novel is very much present as Colin and Eliza, who, by the way, is running away from a horrible marriage contract being perpetrated by her uncle Silas. Like all of Jeffries' heroines, Eliza is a woman with some backbone who falls for a man with issues. But all's well in the end as Colin deals with his demons and Eliza finds many reasons to marry him and defy her uncle. Even a novella by Jeffries is fun.
