Content in a quiet life with friends and family, the young widow has no desire to marry again. But when Hugo, Lord Trentham, scoops her up in his arms after a fall, she feels a sensation that both shocks and emboldens her. Hugo is a gentleman in name only: a war hero whose bravery earned him a title, a merchant's son who inherited his wealth. He is happiest when working the land, but duty and title now demand that he finds a wife. Hugo doesn't wish to court Gwen, yet he cannot resist her guileless manner, infectious laugh, and lovely face. He wants her, but will she have him? The dour ex-military officer who so gallantly carried Gwen to safety is a man who needs a lesson in winning a woman's heart. But through courtship and seduction, Gwen soon finds that with each kiss, and with every caress, Hugo captivates her more--with his desire, with his love, and with the promise of forever.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\" Mary Balogh] writes with wit and wisdom. . . . \u003ci\u003eThe Proposal\u003c\/i\u003e is both moving and entertaining and the beginning of what promises to be an outstanding series.\"--Romance Reviews Today\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"A historical romance of unusual thoughtfulness and depth.\"--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes a preview of Mary Balogh's \u003ci\u003eThe Arrangement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Balogh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0440245303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780440245308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.41h x 7.97w x 1.05d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2016 pg. 49","brand":"Mary Balogh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988151697663,"sku":"9780440245308","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37ade011-dc7c-4c0f-8a32-9269acce8767.jpg?v=1683292917","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-proposal-mary-balogh-9780440245308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
