Marcus Holcomb. Handsome, charming, worldly-and penniless. What's a man with enormous gambling debts and an aversion to work to do when his wealthy relatives cut off his allowance? Why, marry into money, of course! Marcus Holcomb. Handsome, charming, worldly-and penniless. What's a man with enormous gambling debts and an aversion to work to do when his wealthy relatives cut off his allowance? Why, marry into money, of course! The trick is to find a woman he can tolerate who won't suspect his true motives. What could be simpler for a gambler who knows how to bluff? Amy Winthrop knows her father is ashamed of his spinster daughter. Even though she is as clever as her brothers, her father won't let her near the machine shop in their textile factory and refuses to look at her plans to improve their business. In Nelson Winthrop's eyes, a woman's only value is as a pawn in a bigger game. When the opportunity arises to marry her off to the nephew of wealthy industrialist Horace Holcomb, Winthrop's relief is obvious. He can get rid of his daughter and forge a business relationship at the same time. Amy is determined to send Marcus Holcomb running just as she has sent every other suitor running-by being herself. What man would marry a woman who would rather study a steam compressor instead of a sewing pattern? She vows to be as difficult, outspoken, and mannish as possible, thus forcing Holcomb to flee and teaching her father a lesson at the same time. Except that Marcus won't budge-and he doesn't seem to care that she's not like other women. Oddly enough, he listens to her ideas and seems keen to learn from her. He even treats her as an equal, not some simpering halfwit who only cares about fashion and flowers. Could he truly love her? Or is Marcus playing a bigger game as well? Welcome to the Hidden Gems Historical Romance Series! Each book is a sweet historical romance where women of unique talents find the happy endings they long for with men who love and cherish them.
