Wedded Bliss
by Barbara Metzger

Award-winning author Barbara Metzger delivers a heartful of bliss with this witty tale of an inconvenient bride who must convince her groom that love is more important than convenience...

When Robert Rothmore, Earl of Rockford, receives word that his son has been taken by a neighboring widow, he hastily vows to enforce the kidnapping laws. But he quickly discovers that Alissa Henning is no criminal. Instead she is simply delightful—exactly the kind of woman who'd make the perfect mother for his sons. Marriage would be an ideal arrangement for both of them, wouldn't it?

At first, Alissa swore she'd spend the rest of her life scraping pennies together rather than wed the insufferable earl and become a glorified governess. Still, she couldn't very well let her own children starve—and there was no doubt that Rockford would give them all a good life. So she reluctantly accepts his offer...but there's more to a good life that what's in one's pockets. And Alissa intends to find out what's in her new husband's heart...
