In fact, she's vowed never to marry the man who blighted her life and destroyed her dreams. Viscount Westfield is prepared--happily--to return the money that Penny's father paid to secure the betrothal. It would appear that everyone is in agreement. But one look at Penny and Westfield knows he can never, ever let her go...."--p. [4] of cover.
