Claire wants a husband and Nate wants a wife. Neither wanted each other, but that’s exactly what they got.
This pair bickered continuously. They didn’t even consummate their marriage on their wedding night! Yet, because the story is told from both of their points of view, we quickly realise they’re both genuinely good people. It’s only a matter of time before they begin to see that in each other too.
I love the setting of this historical romance, which takes place in early nineteenth-century London. The clothing, the hairstyles and the social etiquette all bring the period vividly to life. What I enjoyed most, though, was the story itself and the author’s engaging writing style.
I’ve read several books by Ruth Ann Nordin, both standalones and series, and I’ve loved every one of them. I can happily recommend them all. If you’d like to try one of her books, why not start with this one? It’s free, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Nathaniel Buford, Earl of Roderick, doesn’t want a wife, but his brother died, passing on the title of earl to him. Now he is bound by duty to get an heir. Unfortunately, to get the heir, he must find a wife. As luck would have it, he gets caught in a scandalous situation not of his doing, and the next thing he knows, he’s married…and to a lady whose family is reported to desire money above all else.
Miss Claire Lowell wanted to get married. But she never intended to marry a gentleman who felt trapped into it, and she certainly never thought her family would have a hand in the scandal that forced Lord Roderick’s hand in marriage. Can love find a way to thrive under such conditions or will her father’s eagerness to see her married off to an earl condemn her to a loveless marriage?
*This is Book 1 in the Marriage by Scandal Series.
