The Prizefighter's Hart

Headstrong Hart Series, Book 4

De: Emily Royal

Narrado por: Polly Lee

A spinster. A prizefighter. A marriage of convenience. This bout can't end well.

Plain, prim, and beyond marriageable age, Dorothea Hart is resigned to the life of a spinster aunt. But she yearns for a family of her own, and is hopelessly attracted to the "Mighty Oak" - a prizefighter renowned for his prowess - who stirs previously unknown passions in her.

Widower Griffin Oake made his fortune in the ring - but he can't buy respectability, or a footing in society for his daughter. After a disastrous first marriage, he has no wish to wed again, but is looking to employ a genteel woman to chaperone the rebellious teenager - preferably the plainest, dullest woman in London.

When Dorothea is publicly compromised, she's pushed into a marriage of convenience with the object of her infatuation. Exiled to the country, with a husband who avoids her, and a stepdaughter determined to defy her, Dorothea's dream of a loving family seems further away than ever...and she begins to suspect that Griffin's first wife's death was not an accident.

Contains mature themes.
