A Friend Indeed

Caroline Downy has resigned herself to the necessity of an arranged marriage; her family’s financial situation requires it. But she hadn’t counted on the chosen suitor being her brother’s best friend, George Carlton. She has known him since they were both children, and thinks of him as her friend as well. Marrying him, she feels certain, will cost her that cherished connection. For his part, George has loved Caroline in secret for years. Convincing her father to grant him her hand wasn’t easy. Convincing her that their marriage could be something more than an arrangement of necessity will be far more difficult.
