Lord Havelock’s List [EPUB ebook] 

An aristocrat offers a convenient marriage to a woman he believes will be an obedient wife, but his bride is more spirited-and alluring-than he imagined.Be careful what you wish for . . . . Lord Havelock is in need of a wife. But with no time for a society wedding and no stomach for girlish fripperies, his options are limited. So with help from his friends, he draws up a list of qualities he does desire in a wife . . . . When orphaned Mary Carpenter discovers her handsome new husband’s list, she’s hurt-and incensed. If he thinks she’ll sit meekly by, be "compliant" and "a mouse, " he’s got another think coming! Is it perhaps time for Mary to make a list of her own, and change the rules of their relationship forever. . . ?
