Those Endearing Young Charms

A long-engaged couple is about to wed out of a sense of duty—but someone has other plans in a rollicking Regency by the New York Times–bestselling author.

Mary and the earl have been promised to each other for a decade—and after a long separation the time has finally come for them to go through with it, in spite of the fact that their ardor has cooled. Anything else would be dishonorable . . .

But Mary’s sister, Emily, believes the marriage would be a mistake—and concocts an outrageous wedding-day scheme that will cause trouble for everyone involved—in this entertaining Regency romance originally published under the name Marion Chesney.
