He has little choice when he is introduced to Mr. Jonathan Chawleigh, a City man of apparently unlimited wealth and no social ambitions for himself-but with his eyes firmly fixed on a suitable match for his only daughter, the quiet and decidedly plain Jenny Chawleigh.

    👍Worth reading
    💡Learnt A Lot
    🚀Unputdownable
    💧Soppy

    Really liked the nook even though the ending (last couple pages) really sucked. Hero never thinks heroine is good looking, but it had me in tears, lols and awes.
