As Book 2 in the Brides of Bath Series, this story includes most of the characters from the first novel (The Bride Wore Blue) and adds a few new ones as well.Glee has loved Mr. Blankenship...aka Blanks....for as long as she can remember. The dashingly handsome best friend of her older brother, though, still thinks of her as barely out of the school room. When terms of his newly deceased father's will dictate that he must be wed before his 25th birthday (a mere few months away) to inherit, Glee proposes an "arrangement" to Blanks.Knowing he has no desire to wed or give up his lifestyle of debauchery, Glee tells him that she will be his wife in name only, and not expect him to reform in the least. In fact, he doesn't even have to give up his mistress!Glee is convinced that if just given the chance, she can win Blanks over and become his wife in every way. It is a most enjoyable read following them through the journey.
