A Deal With Her Father

 

​1926: His legs badly damaged in World War One, Harry Pearson has been made to feel useless. Desperate to prove his worth, he wants to start a business, but needs a loan.

William Chilvers will lend him the money when nobody else will, but only if Harry woos William's headstrong daughter, Regina, and changes her mind about living independently. Harry must do this before Reggie's 21st birthday, in six weeks time. Against his better judgement, Harry agrees. 

Reggie Chilvers knows her father believes a woman’s place is in the home, but she is determined: on her birthday, she will come into her inheritance, leave home, and gain her independence. The last thing she wants is a husband, even if Harry is charming, attentive and sympathetic to her views. 

​Will he win her heart before his deadline? And how will she feel if she learns the truth?
