Nothing is simple when you're thirty-fifth in line for the British
crown, least of all marriage. But with love on their side, and plans to
elope, Lady Georgiana Rannoch and her beau Darcy O'Mara hope to bypass a
few royal rules...
With Darcy driving me out of London in a borrowed motor car, I soon
discover that he isn't planning to introduce me to the pleasures of
sinning in secret--as I had hoped--but to make me his wife!
Of course, there are some quibbles to be dealt with, such as my needing
special permission from the King to marry a Roman Catholic and the
question of where we might live after the honeymoon. Though he will
inherit a title, Darcy is as broke as I am. Even his family's Irish
castle has been sold to a rich American who now employes Darcy's father
as a hired hand.
Throwing these cares to the wind, nothing could deter us from our
mission--except perhaps the news that my future father-in-law has just
been arrested. It seems the rich American was murdered and Darcy's
father had more than enough motive to do the deed. With the elopement
postponed, we head for Ireland where he insists he's innocent, and it's
up to us to prove it--for better or worse.
