To help her destitute parents, Emma Mercer must marry very well. And very soon. Love is irrelevant. Only security matters…doesn't it? Aided by her friend Olivia—and Olivia's brother Marcus, Earl of Westin—Emma quickly gains society's notice. But Marcus himself, the only man whose company Emma truly enjoys, seems oblivious to her charms.
With his finances in jeopardy, Marcus knows he can't be the wealthy groom Emma needs. Instead, he'll see her properly engaged to the right man…and break his own heart.
Yet Emma's determination and Marcus's resolve may be no match for love, faith—and a scheming sister determined to end Emma's husband hunt right at Marcus's side.

A light, enjoyable read. Predictable, perhaps, but the characters were fun and engaging, and it wasn't hard to stay focused all the way to the end. I loved how the supporting characters were genuinely ready to take things by both hands to watch out for the heroine, and how some of the plot elements played out.
“Ducks have diseases” had to have been one of my favorite lines! Wicked fellow...
The ending was very satisfying, too!
