BACK COVER:
HER FATHER'S ILL-FATED VENTURES LAND DULCIE DAWN BLESSING IN LONDON'S NOTORIOUS DEBTOR'S PRISON. IN A DESPERATE SCHEME TO WIN HER FREEDOM, SHE CONSENTS TO MARRY A STRANGER... FOR A DAY. DOWN ON HIS LUCK BUT EVER A GENTLEMAN, CRISPIN WEST AGREES TO OBLIGE A LADY IN NEED, EVEN IF IT MEANS PLAYING THE GROOM IN A MOCK WEDDING. BUT FLUSTERED BY THE UNEXPECTED LOVELINESS OF HIS "BRIDE," CRISPIN SIGNS THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE WITH HIS TRUE NAME, VISCOUNT WEST OF DARNLEY HALL.
THEN CRISPIN'S FORTUNES ARE MIRACULOUSLY RECOVERED, ALLOWING HIM TO PROCEED WITH HIS PLAN TO MARRY SOCIETY'S DARLING, LADY CHARLOTTE BARRINGTON. BUT THE VERY NIGHT HE IS TO ASK FOR HER HAND, DULCIE APPEARS AT HIS DOORSTEP. THEIR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, LEGALLY BINDING WITH CRISPIN'S SIGNATURE, HAS DISAPPEARED AND MAY HAVE ALREADY FALLEN INTO THE HANDS OF ROGUES INTENT ON MISCHIEF - OR WORSE. NOW DULCIE AND CRISPIN MUST RACE AGAINST TIME TO RETRIEVE THE DOCUMENT....WHILE AN UNBIDDEN PASSION THREATENS TO IRREVOCABLY ALTER THEIR FUTURE.
I WOULD RATE THIS PAPERBACK BOOK QUALITY AS A 9.0 (VERY GOOD). IT SHOWS A BIT OF AGE DISCOLORATION ON THE EDGES OF THE PAGES.
