Counting on a Countess/ Eva Leigh/ 370 pgs

This was my first time reading a book by Leigh who also writes as Zoe Archer. The story was serviceable but I was rather indifferent to both main characters so it wasn't a favorite. Kit, an earl and a former soldier, finds out he is to inherit a goodly sum of money from an old friend/mentor--but only if he marries. So he sets out to find a bride. Tamsyn is in London from Cornwall. She's a lady but she's also running a smuggling operation out of her village. She needs money to buy back her family's home from an awful relative. She and Kit agree to marry to get the money but neither tells the other that they have plans for the money. After the marriage, the will is read and it turns out that once married, Tamsyn is put in charge of the money. This does not sit well with Kit. As I said, there was nothing wrong with the story or writing, this just wasn't my cup of tea.
