A delightful story of an unlikely pair who are about to discover what they have in common, in this classic romance by New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter. Pro quarterback Brant Asher has it all: fame, good looks, money, beautiful women. The New York football star's life is 100 percent all-American - until a distant English relative names him as his heir. The inheritance includes a title, an estate and...a wife? Daphne Asherwood is shocked to learn that her uncle has blackmailed Brant into marrying her. Of course, she'd always been the plain, overlooked wallflower of the family, but that doesn't mean she'd marry a stranger - and an American, at that! - especially after a makeover reveals a stunning woman ready to come into her own. When Brant and Daphne meet, sparks fly - even if they barely understand each other's language. A prim Englishwoman and an American football hero may not have anything in common...but with the right chemistry, their marriage of convenience might just transform Daphne into a confident woman and Brant into the lord of the manor.
