A great romance featuring a complicated, introspective young woman who is forced into marriage with a lecherous, disgusting, elderly duke by her disgraced and penniless parents. After the (unconsummated) wedding night, on the train to the duke's country estate, she manages to run away. She meets a handsome stranger who assumes she is the woman he is picking up at the station, the widow Muriel Pendrake, who is an internationally known botanist, very independent and well educated -- the opposite of our heroine, Lavinia. Lavinia seizes the opportunity to assume Muriel's identity and falls in love with this wonderful stranger. What will she do when things begin to fall apart? This was so much fun, with lots of lighthearted moments. Truly look forward to recommending this title, which is a companion to the author's first book, The Duke Undone. Want to read that too!
