The heiress bride
(Book)

Joan Winthrop Sherbrooke - Sinjun - is on the verge of spinsterhood, or so her mother fears, when at the ripe age of nineteen she spies Colin Kinross, the Scottish earl of Ashburnham, across the dance floor at a London ball. When Sinjun overhears Colin complain that since he must find a wealthy bride in order to survive, is it too much to ask that she be blessed with all her teeth, she promptly introduces herself as the toothsome heiress she is. injun is bewitched by Colin, utterly fascinated, but she never loses her wits. She arranges an elopement, only to be met by her two favorite brothers, who are hell-bent on preventing the marriage. But despite all objections, she and Colin are wed. She remains besotted with her new husband even after the pair arrive at Vere Castle on Loch Leven and she learns of his first wife's mysterious death and meets his children from that marriage, two little tykes who would just as soon see her in Jericho.
