However, even though Vivian Brighton learned to love the boy, she knows nothing of the contract to marry him. Discover the controversies when she discovers this and the surprising love match between her brother and Bennett's sister. These two couples are opposites. Ben is romantic, kind, considerate, and very patient. Vivian is highly intelligent and that makes her wiser than her age. Charlotte is outspoken, a little wild, and raised with specific ideas.

Husband Wanted (HC #1) by Flo_Writes

Elizbeth Anne Humphrey wants a husband. Her expectations are not outlandish; all she asks is that he be reasonably handsome, reasonably wealthy and completely kind. Her brothers have offered their assistance, and it's given her hope that perhaps there is a man out there who might want her for a wife. But alas, the first man she meets after recommitting to the battle against spinsterhood is reasonably handsome, reasonably naked and completely soaked through and stranded on their front steps. He also has a head-wound and no memory of who he is, but Elizabeth Humphrey has larger mysteries to solve; namely, the mystery of who she might marry.
