The Perfect Partner - Paperback

by Elaine Lyons Bach (Author)

Headstrong Lady Diana Ashton has planned her future. She wants to make a difference in the lives of the poor, to travel extensively, and if she must marry, she's determined to marry a devoted statesman. Then she'll be poised to influence his work in parliament to improve social conditions. Abducted as a child and raised with no schooling, Lord Eversley doubts his competence as a politician. He much prefers painting portraits. His childhood sweetheart inspires him to reconsider his worth and responsibilities. When a carriage accident threatens to paralyze Diana forever, her future crumbles. She discourages Eversley's attentions, believing she can now only ruin the prospects he deserves. Surrendering the life she planned, Diana accepts the life God created her for, one far superior than she imagined.To see what a scamp Diana was as a child, read the first book in the Chadilaine Manor Regency series, Gentle Journey.
