Lady Victoria Arbuthnot is a young and headstrong heiress who grew up in India after the deaths of both of her parents. When she comes to England to find a husband, she hardly expects to find one as soon as she gets on board of the ship to take her to England. Her fiancee, Hugo Rothschild, ninth earl of Malfrey, is good-looking, sophisticated, and quite a gentlemen - everything that Victoria could ever ask for in a husband. But she becomes confused about her feelings when a handsome ship captain, Jacob Carstairs, keeps interferring with her affairs.This is the first book I read of the Avon True Romance Series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Though Victoria annoyed me at times, I thought that she was likeable. I also enjoyed that this novel was humorous. Overall, I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes Avon True Romances or would just like to enjoy a simple romance.
