Description

She has a fortnight to find a husband or be shipped back to England and finding a well-to-do husband is harder than she imagined it would be.

Betty Paca, daughter to a Williamsburg merchant, dreams of many balls and winters in her hometown of Williamsburg, Virginia. Her dreams are quickly dashed, however, when her father announces that they will be leaving the colonies and returning to England. Determined to stay in the colonies Betty decides to do the only thing she can think of... find herself a husband.

Thomas Murray, a new lawyer just returned to Williamsburg from studying law at Oxford University, is quite certain that Betty Paca would rather eat mud than look at him longer than was expected of her. As much as he hoped she would be happy to see him when he returned he finds a murder case suddenly dropped into his lap. While at the ball to gather information Thomas finds Betty in his arms.

What is a man to do when faced with the woman he fancies? He runs, of course, when she kisses him in front of all of Williamsburg.

Will Thomas be able to win over Betty's heart before she marries the wrong man? Or will Betty fail miserably and find herself on a ship headed for England?

This is a sweet, clean Colonial American romance.
