After years of working to buy back his ancestral home, Trethwick Abbey, Viscount Penvale is thrilled when his estranged uncle announces that he is ready to sell. That is, until he learns of his one major caveat-Penvale must marry his uncle's ward, Jane Spencer. When the two meet in London, neither is terribly impressed. Penvale finds Jane headstrong and sharp-tongued. Jane finds him a polished, useless aristocrat. Nevertheless, they agree to a marriage in name only and return to the estate. There, Jane enlists her housekeeper for a scheme: to stage a haunting so that Penvale will return to London, leaving her to do as she pleases at Trethwick Abbey. But Penvale is not as easily scared as his uncle was by these antics, and as their time together increases, Jane begins to wonder if an empty house is really what she wants after all.#paperback#historicalromance#marthawaters#romance#toswoonandtospar#tomarryandtomeddle
