Title: Heiress In Distress Rating: G Word Count: 130 Summary (and any Warnings): An Emelan book blurb. Notes/Links: I’ve been reading blurbs on the Mills and Boon website. Oh lordy.
Lady Sandrilene fa Toren is accustomed to getting her own way and doing as she pleases – until her famous fortune begins to trickle away and she is forced to marry! Curbing her spending habits and frivolities doesn’t seem like such an impossible task compared to piercing the cold exterior of her betrothed, Isas Crane.
For years, Isas has worked hard to establish himself as a scholar, but his meddling family has finally decided to marry him off. Isas is charmed by the headstrong Lady Sandrilene, though he knows she only wants his money; as their wedding approaches, he throws himself back into his studies, having no desire for a broken heart.
Can love bloom between them or is this marriage doomed to be nothing more than a match of convenience?

Yay for posting the first fic Marriages of conveniences turning into love matches is probably my favourite named trope, and I am actually curious as to how Sandry would win Crane over, so that's a pairing I hadn't considered before And I also appreciated the rhyme in the title, and the title altogether

Lol! Very Mills and Boony I wasn't sure where you were going with this and wasn't sure whether to gasp or laugh when I realised her prospective husband was Crane!

*chuckles* Will love bloom between them? Clever. And definitely very reminiscent of Mills & Boon.

It's perfect. It's ridiculous and completely over the top, but the best part is that I can SEE IT WORKING. It disturbs me how well I can see it, lol.
