    About this ebook

    A husband! That was the last thing Damaris wanted. her previous experience in husband-hunting had left a bad taste in her mouth, and since then she's been too busy nursing her grandfather, worrying over her step-brother's failing heart and trying to keep the manor from falling abouttheir ears to consider the matter. if her profligate progenitors hadn't wasted their substance, plain skinny Damaris might had had a decent dowry. She hasn't--and she's stunned when her grandfather and her great-aunt arrange a marriage with wealthy, handsome, Edmund Lateleur, a nearby landowner and industrialist. Why on earth has he chosen her? When she meets the gentleman, she feels twinges of desire, and he encourages her feelings for reasons of his own. Edmund intends to keep those reasons secret until he's wooed and won her. But he becomes suspicious of Damaris' affection for her beautiful step-brother. Believing she's in love with him, Edmund treats her cruelly on their wedding night. Despite that ordeal, Damaris gradually settles into a marriage of convenience, finding satisfaction and even passion in it,especially after she convinces she loves her step-brother only as a brother. But when her husband's real motives come to light, her heart is shatter. She returns to her old hame for her grandfather's funeral and falls into th clutches of an old enemy. Can she save herself, or will a repentant Edmund arrive in time fo rescue her?

    I read, therefore I write. Like many other writers, I started writing because I love reading. Even before I could read, books fascinated me. I loved the smell of the basement library where my mother took me for Saturday morning story hour. And soon I became a voracious, omnivorous reader, continuing to this very day more than seventy-five years later. Like many readers, I soon became a critic. After attempting to read a book and giving up in frustration, I'd think: I could write as well--or better--than this. Of course, I didn't try, until two things occurred. My tech-toy addicted spouse want a new state-of-the-art computer and I needed a new knee. I suggested he set up his old desktop for me and I'd practice on that, since I'd be on restricted activity for a couple of months. As these things usually went, I ended up with a new XP loaded with bells and whistles. I wonder how many books have been attempted since the advent of word processors? I had it and I learned to use it, no more excuses. In the last several years I've completed five books and three WIP. This is my first venture into self-publishing, but I plan to make others available. Look for others soon on SMASHWORDS.
