This delightful novella is part of the Fairy Tales series, but it is a side story, so you won’t get lost or feel left behind. The wildflower in this book is Lady Lucy Towerton, or Tower as some mean people call her due to her height. Lucy is engaged to marry Cyrus, a man of great wealth, who doesn’t have a title but desperately wants one, and believes that marrying a titled woman will give him a better chance of winning one.
Cyrus’s mom went against her family’s wishes and married the family solicitor at Gretna Green. She has been shunned by her family and society as a result. Cyrus wants a wife who is above reproach and who won’t cause a scandal. It doesn’t hurt that Lucy has been in the market for three years. Her family is desperate to see her married.
Then Lucy inherits a fortune from an aunt and can now marry someone with a title. She wants to marry Cyrus, but he has yet to woo her or ask her, not just her father, for her hand in marriage. She wants a marriage that will lead to love.
James has done it again! This is one steamy romance! This novella is four out of five on the hot pepper scale. Cyrus is quite attractive, and while he has a ten-point plan for success in his future, Lucy surprises him by not being the woman he thought he was getting. Filled with witty banter, because Lucy is fond of being bluntly truthful and insists that Cyrus be as well. Whether these two know it or not, they are perfect for each other, and it’s a wild ride watching them get there.
