GoodReads Summary:

Lady Arabella Sutton is stunned to learn her brother has betrothed her to a stranger despite his promises for a season in London. Although she is the first to admit no man would suit, since she’s more interested in horses than marriage, the last thing she wants is to become a brood mare to a stuffy old earl. Facing a future she cannot abide, she takes an impetuous ride to clear her head and ends up tending her injured mare instead.


Oliver Westwyck, the Earl of Marsdale, can’t believe his luck when he stops at an inn the night before he’s to meet his fiancée. In the stable, while tending the colt he intends to give to his future wife, he happens upon her—rain-drenched but beautiful. She assumes he’s a stable hand, a fine joke he means to end...until Lady Arabella declares all noblemen are egotistical, conceited, and arrogant. How can he reveal his true identity before he’s managed to change her mind and win her heart?

My Thoughts:

Lady Arabella has always been close to her brother Will. She cannot believe he would betroth her to the Earl of Marsdale, Oliver Westwyck with at least consulting her. When she unexpectedly gets caught in a rain/snow storm when her mare’s foot is injured, she seeks shelter at a local inn. The mysterious Mr. Carrington comes to her rescue but much to her surprise, he is not who he says he is. Perhaps not all dukes, brothers and strangers are not as crazy as they seem. This is a cute, quick holiday read—perfect for this time of year. And for $0.99--it is a steal too!!
