A novel by

 
 
Ralph had considered obtaining a special license—considered it and dismissed it seconds later. As a humble solicitor, he had no connections with the Archbishop of Canterbury and, although he had no doubt that Helena's brother would supply the requisite funds, Ralph had no idea whose palms would need to be greased before that connection with the archbishop could be established.

Equally out of the question was abiding by the normal process. If he submitted their names to the banns and waited for the announcement to be read for three consecutive Sundays, another month would fly by. Time was of the essence if rumors were to be stifled and scandal was to be quashed.

No, the only course of action open to him was the one that required no paperwork whatsoever. He must abandon his predilection for law and order and head for England's lawless neighbor to the north. Mr. Ralph Aldine must take Lady Helena Angiers by coach straightway to be wed across the border in Scotland....

The fourth instalment of the Pevensey Mysteries, this book explores the burgeoning romance between Ralph Aldine and Helena Angiers after their marriage of convenience. When Ralph is called away to London and accused of murder, Helena must choose between clinging to a romanticized version of the past or embracing the real flesh-and-blood devotion of the husband she has come to care for.
