Description: Beautiful Lady Penelope Winthrop wants a husband in name only. Not for her the demands of a plaguesome male. She wants peace at her country estate with her herbs and flowers. Her wealth enables her to purchase the ideal mate - the disappearing sort. When Penelope saves the day and helps Jonathan, the Earl of Harford, win a wager, he agrees to assist Penelope in her quest. But he finds fault with every candidate for his distant cousin's hand. Over time Penny realizes she loves the handsome lord. Upon finding a love letter apparently written to Jonathan by a woman he loves, Penny decides she must return home. He dashes after her. Now begins a race for love!
