“You don’t need me to fight your battles,” he said
“Well, it would be nice to have someone fight them.” Anne was accustomed to having to stand on her own two feet. However, what she had just said was something she had recognized since Ian had come to Fenton School to collect her. It was nice to have someone on her side. And at her side.
“And that is the purpose of everything we’re in London to accomplish,” Ian said softly.
The marriage mart. Someone to fight my battles for me.
Anne had never thought of what they were undertaking in that light. Despite all her romantic fantasies, she had never really believed she would find a husband at any of the Season’s entertainments.
She had already found her champion and, ridiculously romantic or not, she knew she would never want any other…!

Prologue
Sinclair Hall
England, December 1813
“Oh, there’s no mistake, Mr. Sinclair. We’ve examined the terms of the colonel’s will quite carefully, I can assure you. It’s very clear he intended to leave his daughter in your very capable hands.”
