About this ebook

“Merrill deftly delivers a well-crafted, potent and passionate” Victorian romance in her RWA Golden Heart Award–winning debut novel (Romantic Times).

Dear Cici and Father,

I have come to Devon and married a duke. And I’m more tired and hungry than I have ever been in my life. Please let me come home.

Compromised and wedded on the same day, Lady Miranda was fast finding married life not to her taste. A decaying manor and a secretive husband were hardly the stuff of girlish dreams. Yet every time she looked at dark, brooding Marcus Radwell, Duke of Haughleigh, she felt inexplicably compelled—and determined—to make their marriage real!

Ratings and reviews

How am I suppose to download the book if I dont have a credit card? This is a new thing & its dumb. You dont need to keep peoples details in case they want to buy something one day. It sounds like a scam. Does it really matter from which country im from? Seriously what a load of crap. Fix it.

Other ebook companies like kobo do not ask for cc info for free books, u just directly download them and thats it they are yours to keep

For a free book this was a delightful twist on the classic Cinderella story. Both main characters are flawed, yet endearing, and the story drew me in immediately. I love how tough Miranda was and not a shrinking violet, as they say. I plan to now buy several books from this new-to-me author and spend my weekend lost in another historical fairytale.

About the author

Christine Merrill wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember. During a stint as a stay-at-home-mother, she decided it was time to “write that book.” She could set her own hours and would never have to wear pantyhose to work! It was a slow start but she slogged onward and seven years later, she got the thrill of seeing her first book hit the bookstores. Christine lives in Wisconsin with her family.
