The Marriage Lesson

Alternate images

When Thomas Effington, the Marquess of Helmsley, finds himself trapped with chaperoning the three Shelton sisters through the rigors of a London season, he realizes the best way to survive the trial is to marry them off as quickly as possible. But Marianne Shelton has no interest in marriage and instead wishes to pursue grand adventures and experience life, threatening to do just that with the first gentleman who offers her the opportunity.

To keep her from ruin, Thomas agrees to provide the lessons in life she desires, never dreaming she is the mysterious author of a series of scandalous stories–The Absolutely True Adventures of a Country Miss in London–and is basing those stories on their relationship.

Lessons are learned on both sides as each discovers the plans they’ve made for their lives might not be what they really want. And love and marriage may well be the greatest adventure of all.
