Sometimes, a woman needs a hero.
Miss Caroline Jennings is facing a life of shame and poverty. She has lost everything: her home, her father, and any chance of happiness. What is more? If her father’s secret is exposed, she will be known as the daughter of a traitor.
Surely, life cannot get much worse.
When a carriage accident throws her into the river – fitting punishment for her father’s crimes – she is tempted to allow herself to succumb. It is only the thought of her two younger sisters and the strong arms of her rescuer that keep her among the living.
Alexander Vessey, Viscount Beachmont, ex-soldier, and one of the richest men in Britain. A classic hero if she’d ever seen one. Big, strong, and commanding. Any woman’s heart would flutter like hers to be saved by him.
His heroics unfortunately have saved her for a life of loneliness and want.
However, when he offers her a marriage of convenience, it seems the perfect solution to regain her life. The only danger she faces now is the possibility of losing her heart.
Please pay a proofreader This story is okay, somewhat formulaic but interesting… the serious problem is the spelling, the use of punctuation, and the poor sentence structure.

Decent story/Ridiculously bad editing OMG! Let me first say, the story wasn’t bad. It was a decent escapist Regency Romance. That’s what earned the two stars. But the editing!! I’m a 7th grade English teacher, and my better 7th grade writers would have cringed at the editing errors. The author needs to learn how to write a complex sentence. There were fragments all over the place. Then there were the typical word usage errors–there/their, its/it’s. There were also a lot of flat out wrong words–“balmy,” instead of…
good ideas, terrible spelling While it is true that the words present in this book are actually a part of the English language, the unceasing stream of misused and clearly spell-checked but not logic-checked words greatly detracts from the story line.If I didn’t know better, I would think this was a deliberate (and heavyhanded) attempt at malapropism.I really wish there were a way for readers to provide feedback to authors in the form of proofreading.
