The will her husband created stipulated that if she did not marry one of the business partners, she was to get none of the money he had. One is an older man, the other a man Genevieve believes she is in love with. The man is a bore, but a handsome one. She is trying to convince him he loves her too.
Enter Tobias, her dashing, daring man from the past. Although he deflowered her on the way to Gretna Green and then disappeared, he appears to have lost none of his passion for Genevieve and is convinced he needs to enlighten her to her own feelings.
I think that if the author had spent more time on the characters and less on their passionate feelings, it may have been a better story. I really didn't understand Felton at all. One minute he is kissing her, the next he is giving her up for horses. Apparently these people have NO sense of stealth as Tobias tries to trick him into giving up Genevieve for horses, she is wearing perfume and simply standing behind a screen. Felton gives up and ta-da! Tobias and Genevieve can go off and be passionate forever!
I was glad this was just a novella. Sadly, it wasn't one of my favorites.
