Marrying for money...Can you find love?

Lord Harry's Angel by Patricia Oliver (1993) Major Harry Davenport inherited after his brother's death. He was now the sixth Earl of Casleton. But that didn't really matter much as Mr. John Hamilton, solicitor and man of business to the Earls of Castleton for the past forty odd years explained that he was very deep in debt. Probably close to 100,000 pounds in debt and that the only way out was marriage. Marriage to a Cit's daughter. Having been in town only two days he laughed at the idea but seeing that was the only way, he agreed to let Mr. Hamilton make inquires. Drastic measures and all that. Angela Walters had been trained to be a lady by her mother who had been an earl's daughter but disowned when she married Angels's father. Upon meeting Major Davenport (as she like to think of his as instead of Lord Castleton) and having some unusual feelings for him, she agree to marry him. Harry put all of his efforts into building up his estate with the money given to him and Angela worked to not show to Harry what her foolish heart was telling her. Lovely story. Happy Reading!

Great Regency

Lord Harry is forced to marry for money since his father and grandfather squandered the estate. Harry's brother even stole his fiancee. Angela is the daughter of a wealthy businessman and the granddaughter of an earl, but still a Cit. She is more of a lady than most women in Harry's class, but all he sees is the money she will bring to him. I don't know what Angela was thinking in this book. She gets absolutely nothing out of this deal but a worthless title. I love her spunk and the way she fights for what she is due, but it is an uphill battle until her husband finally wakes up and realizes what he is in danger of losing. The cover blurb was written by someone who did not read the book, so ignore that and enjoy a good story of a woman who overcomes everything for love.
