The Proposal

 

 

Lady Gwendolyn Muir is a widow and is not looking for a romance, but that is exactly what she finds when she falls and sprains her ankle while on a walk. Lord Hugo Trentham, war hero, is making his yearly visit with friends who have suffered injuries during the war. They all have come together to help one another cope with the problems they face in life. Hugo says that it is time for him to marry and he must find a wife, so he tells his friends he is going out for a walk and that he will propose marriage to the first woman he meets! It is just a joke of course, but imagine the looks on his friends faces when Hugo returns from his walk with a woman in his arms!

 

Lady Muir is visiting with a woman who recently lost her husband. They have had an argument and so Gwendolyn decides she needs a walk to help calm her down. Unfortunately, she sprains her ankle and cannot get up and walk. Lord Hugo Trentham is out for a walk when he see's a woman fall. He knows she has damaged her ankle and the lady cannot get up, so he comes to her rescue. Hugo is forced to help the lady and take her home with him. You can imagine the look on the faces of his friends when he walks in with a woman in his arms! 

 

 

I have read several of Mary Balogh's books and this one doesn't disappoint! It was charming and I especially liked the fact that there was no conflicts or rivalry. They liked each other from the start. I really liked this book and I hope you will too.

 

 

HAPPY READING!
