Noble Intentions (Noble, #1)

Determined to marry a quiet, obedient woman after being burned the first time around, Noble Britton believes he has found the perfect woman in Gillian Leigh, but his clever plan is thrown by the wayside when his accident-prone new bride hurls his orderly life into chaos, unexpectedly healing his heart and bringing joy and love into his life. Original. Noble Britton had suffered greatly at the hands of his first wife, and he refused to fall into the same trap again. This time he intended to marry a quiet, biddable woman who would not draw attention to herself or cause scandal. Gillian Leigh's honest manner and spontaneous laughter attracted him immediately. It mattered little that she was accident-prone; he could provide the structure necessary to guide her. But unconventional to the tips of her half-American toestoes that one of them was constantly tripping overhis new bride turned the tables on him, wreaking havoc on his orderly life. And worse, demanding he surrender his heart. Perpetually one step behind his beguiling spouse, Noble suffered a banged-up head, a black eye, and a broken nose before he realized Gillian had healed his soul and proved that their union was no heedless tumble, but the swoon of true love. Unconventional to the tips of her half-American toes, Gillian sparks scandal among the townspeople and a burning desire in Noble's heart.
