The Bargain Bride
“One was more beautiful, one was more wealthy, one was more good-natured. He chose the one with the biggest breasts.
—By Arrangement, a chronicle of arranged marriages, by G. E. Felber West was coming back. He had to be. If Penny truly believed he wasn’t, she’d pack up all her belongings, her grandfather, and his dog, move back to Little Falls, and send Sir Gaspar and his second family to Satan. No, if she believed West really had left her, Penny decided, she’d ride after him, a pistol in on...e hand, a butcher knife in the other, and homicide in her heart.
Since he was going to return, Penny was going to be a good wife. She might have been a bothersome bride, but she was determined to be a perfect partner in the marriage. To that end, she spent a great deal of time spending a great deal of her father’s money.
Her clothes came first. West liked her in pretty colors, in revealing gowns, as fashionable as other peers’ wives. She took the unpacked yard goods to Madame Journet, who agreed the rainbow shot silk was perfect for Penny’s first ball as hostess.MoreLess
