Wedded Bliss
Robert--earl of Rockford, accomplished diplomat, linguist, and official translator for the crown--is a failure as a father, and he doesn't care. But even though he doesn't want to be any more involved in his children's lives than is absolutely necessary, e.g., choosing their ponies, he doesn't want his son to live like a commoner, and he certainly doesn't want him to be called "Willy." But Willy doesn't want to leave Alissa, a widow trying to raise her own children on what little she can earn giving art lessons to the local gentry. And now Alissa's powerful landlord is threatening to evict her. Rockford sees marriage to Alissa as a solution to both of their problems; then, after the wedding, he leaves alone for his elegant London townhouse. But Alissa doesn't believe in marriages of convenience, so she gathers up the kids and follows him. Chaos soon reigns and priceless antiques and curios shatter as Rockford begins his transformation in this Pygmalion in reverse. Metzger has penned another winning Regency tale. Filled with her hallmark humor, distinctive wit, and entertaining style, this is one romance that will not fail to enchant.Shelley MosleyCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
