Overview :

They thought marriage would be easy, but marriage is never convenient.

“The will says the house is ‘for you, your wife and children, Philip.’ But you have no wife. Therefore, the house is mine.”

It’s 1836, England. At only 33, Philip Daucer planned to explore the world, then settle down. But with his brother threatening his inheritance, Phillip is backed into a corner. Determined to save what he inherited—and beat his brother at his own game—Phillip sets out to find a wife.

In faraway Spain, Carmen Suárez is reeling from a failed relationship. Enter Phillip, a man who makes her heart soar. Tall, handsome and very English, he offers marriage and adventure—life in another country. To help them both, Philip proposes they marry for convenience—he will offer her the security of marriage, if she helps him keep his house, Carmen accepts his terms.

But as they rush to solve their immediate problems, Phillip and Carmen open themselves to clashes over culture and religion. Putting love secondary to his inheritance, Phillip asks too much of Carmen. Disappointed, she considers returning to Spain.

When threatened with stronger adversaries than expected, Philip and Carmen must change course before one house and one secret add up to potential disaster. When their marriage becomes anything but convenient, can they let love win?
