A Suitable Wife

De: Louise M. Gouge

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Lady Beatrice Gregory should have been introduced to Society years ago, should have made a brilliant match, and should now be managing her own household. But her brother, the Earl of Melton, has gambled away his fortune, leaving no money to fund her first London Season, much less a dowry. With no hope of finding true love, Beatrice must accept a position as lowly companion to wealthy Mrs. Parton, who introduces her to handsome, appealing Viscount Greystone. But Beatrice quickly learns that the elegant peer’s goodwill seems to extend to everyone but her. After a severe illness, Viscount Greystone gets serious about marrying and producing an heir. Grateful to God for sparing him, he dedicates himself to charitable works. He knows from the start that Lady Beatrice is an inappropriate wife for him, for an association with her wicked brother will tarnish Greystone’s political influence in Parliament, where he hopes to pass laws to help the poor. Yet how can he resist the beautiful, selfless lady when he finds her concern for the less fortunate equal to his own?
