The Valquez Bride / Melanie Milburne / 185 pages

Teddy Marlstone is a children's book illustrator who still suffers a limp from a broken hip when she was 10 years old.  She has lived in Marlstone Manor all her life, but finds out that she must marry within a month in order to keep the manor out of her cousin's hands due to the conditions in her father's will.  Worst of all - her father chose the groom - the gorgeous Alejandro Valquez, notorious Argentinian playboy.  Will they suffer the required marriage of 6 months to inherit their property or find the love of a lifetime?


The characters have a little depth to them, though the author tends to tell everything they're thinking rather than imply it through their words and actions.  The overall plot has been done before in books and movies.  This is a typical romance; a quick, fun read.
