Payment In Kind by Diana Campbell



I don't understand these books where the heroin is constantly snapping, glaring at people, and angrily responding in conversations. Does anybody really want to marry such a person? If I were a man I don't think I would be going "Hot diggity dog! This woman is so amazing even though she never has a nice thing to say to me. I must end up with her!"This book was a painful unrealistic bore to read. I will rename this book 'Painfully Unkind'.

Molly Trevor's father had made a fortune and lost his good name by becoming a Midas-like moneylender rather than remaining a penniless aristocrat.

When Molly inherited both the glitter of his gold and the shadow of his shame, she was quite willing to increase the one and ignore the other-until she spied the Viscount Ogilvie from afar. Molly vowed to wed this splendid lord at any cost, even if it meant changing her name and hiding her past.

Molly had the will, the wit, and the wealth to pull the wool over society's eyes-but even she found how hard it was to keep love blind.
