A Rose at Midnight

Magnus (Earl of Rutherford) is in his 30's, unmarried and is told he has an uncurable heart condition that will kill him within the year. He wants an heir in a hurry. Cara needs money for her penniless mother and younger brother who needs expensive treatments for his consumption. Magnus provides the money Cara needs, though he doesn't know why she needs it, and she tries to provide the heir. This is a sweet story with both people fearing to share all their secrets. I enjoyed seeing how the two resolved their problems and fears. This is not a deep philosophical book, but it is a nice one night diversion.
