( ) Prizefighter gains a wife—the wife gains? Marriage of convenience trope is given a good run for its money is this Hart series contribution. Dorothea Hart has been the backstop for her siblings and families forever. Too old to come out when that might have happened she’s been relegated to spinster aunt / sometime chaperone / carer of small children / problem solving hostess for her brother the Duke and his wife. All very well but really those brothers needed their heads knocked together. The backstory here is rather sad Griffon Oake, widower and prizefighter is looking for a chaperone / governess for his wild child daughter from his first marriage. Someone who will lend him respectability, preferably mild and unobtrusive. Someone to help his daughter eventually make her way through society’s traps for the unwary. What he doesn’t know is that Thea has a guilty secret—him. Still Thea wasn’t looking towards marriage, that was beyond her, until a situation arises when both find themselves with their feet placed firmly on the rung of matrimony. There’s a long way to go before the problems are ironed out in this “convenient” relationship! I liked Thea, Griff needed lessons in listening—and then some!

A spinster. A prizefighter. A marriage of convenience. This bout can't end well. Plain, prim, and beyond marriageable age, Dorothea Hart is resigned to the life of a spinster aunt. But she yearns for a family of her own, and is hopelessly attracted to the 'Mighty Oak'-a prizefighter renowned for his prowess-who stirs previously unknown passions in her. Widower Griffin Oake made his fortune in the ring-but he can't buy respectability, or a footing in society for his daughter. After a disastrous first marriage, he has no wish to wed again, but is looking to employ a genteel woman to chaperone the rebellious teenager-preferably the plainest, dullest woman in London. When Dorothea is publicly compromised, she's pushed into a marriage of convenience with the object of her infatuation. Exiled to the country, with a husband who avoids her, and a stepdaughter determined to defy her, Dorothea's dream of a loving family seems further away than ever . . . and she begins to suspect that Griffin's first wife's death was not an accident.
