Anne's Perfect Husband

Anne's Perfect Husband
Gayle Wilson

Major Ian Sinclair knew firsthand that war made men do strange things. But to be named guardian of the daughter of the man responsible for ending his career–and very nearly his life?–was beyond the Pale. Yet now Anne Darlington was his responsibility, and he found himself longing for a future he'd thought he no longer believed in…Cloistered in a remote boarding school, Anne Darlington had grown up never knowing any other life. Until fate thrust her into the strong arms of Ian Sinclair, a tortured nobleman whose secret connection to her father threatened her unspoken dream that Ian would someday return her love…and become her perfect husband.

“You don’t need me to fight your battles,” he said

“Well, it would be nice to have someone fight them.” Anne was accustomed to having to stand on her own two feet. However, what she had just said was something she had recognized since Ian had come to Fenton School to collect her. It was nice to have someone on her side. And at her side.

“And that is the purpose of everything we’re in London to accomplish,” Ian said softly.

The marriage mart. Someone to fight my battles for me.

Anne had never thought of what they were undertaking in that light. Despite all her romantic fantasies, she had never really believed she would find a husband at any of the Season’s entertainments.

She had already found her champion and, ridiculously romantic or not, she knew she would never want any other…!
