Bride of Convenience

Back cover reads: A whirlwing wedding! Stacey Amhearst has no choice but to go ahead with her marriage of convenience to ruggedly sexy Oren McClain. But she is secretly in love with him and is determined to make their marriage work. Will she ever be more to McClain than his wife in name only?

The picture didn't do Oren McClain justice, but at least it had a picture on it.Stacy Amherst has been robbed of her money, all of it.I don't think Oren knows how she lost her money, he only knows she has.Oren wants to give her anything she needs of wants at the begining of the book, then he sees Stacy can't even fix food for herself, and Oren becomes determined to make her over.Oren is deeply in love with Stacy, but never tells her.He asks her to marry him, only to save her from poverty.(HEY ME TOO!!)Anyway, Stacy turns him down for the second time only Oren kisses her and fire is lite in the boiler. And the wedding is on.Oren wants Stacy to love him, but he wants her to be able to take care of herself, he wears her out teaching her to ride, Oren sees himself and he dislikes his intentions, he changes his mind, but he doesn't know this is the story of Stacy's life, people not believing in her and she needs to believe in herself.Oren gets Stacy's money back and Stacy too.Oren helps her on that count, but she helps Oren see, money won't by love.I like the other books by Ms Fox better, Stacy, and Oren were not as open as they could have been.I also like Rebecca Winters, Helen Brooks, the late great Betty Neels, the late Essie Summers, and Eva Rutland.
