Overcoming some misguided help from Horatia's harebrained brother and a hired highwayman, the Earl routs his old enemy, and wins over his young wife-proving theirs was no accidental marriage and gifting her with a love that she never thought she could expect. There's simply no way he's going to let her get into trouble. Unbeknownst to Horatia, the Earl is enchanted by her. The Earl of Rule has found just the wife he wants. And then the Earl's archenemy, Sir Robert, sets out to ruin her reputation. First published in 1934, just before Heyer embarked on the first of her Regency novels, The Convenient Marriage is set earlier than the Regency, in 1776. Everyone knows she's no beauty, but she'll do her best to keep out of the Earl's way and make him a good wife. After his readings of Sylvester and Venetia, two of Heyer’s popular Regency romances, Richard Armitage has now recorded an abridged version of The Convenient Marriage for Naxos. Her sister is already in love with someone else, and Horatia is willing to sacrifice herself and tell a few convenient lies for her family's happiness. When the Earl of Rule proposes marriage to her sister Lizzie, Horatia offers herself instead. Horatia Winwood is simply helping her family.
