Alas, Lady Mercia is just well, unlucky. She receives the short end of the biological stick, being not as pretty as her stunning sister Lady Rowena. Thus, when the girls were of age, both were promised. Lady Rowena to a prince and Lady Mercia to a church. Enjoying her last few days of freedom before she is literally cloistered, Lady Rowena stumbles across an injured shipwrecked hunk. Is her luck about to change?The story is not bad, a simple and predictable plot (perhaps also because the sypnosis of the book gives a lot away), but shows quite a bit of promise by the author in her writing style. Further development of the characters or the story would have added greater enjoyment but I suppose since it's a novella, one can't ask too much.
