Forced to wed to keep her inheritance, independent Lady Jocelyn Kendal finds an outrageous solution: she proposes marriage to Major David Lancaster, an officer dying from his Waterloo wounds.

Though they agree to an annulment, such matters take time...time enough for David to realize he is irrevocably in love with his wife.

But some bargains are made to be broken - and his skilled courtship is impossible to resist...

I enjoyed The Bargin. The book managed to answer questions about characters that had previously been mentioned briefly in The Fallen Angels series, namely, Lady Jocelyn Kendal from Petals in the Storm and Dr Kinlock. The story unfolds at a gentle pace, this is not a book with an action plot but one about two people who are thrown together in unusal circumstances. An army man who is dying and a Lady who desperatley needs but does not want a husband. I found the interaction between the characters entertaining, the author writes with a good understanding of Jocelyn's all to human a problem of having one man but wanting another. Certainly well worth a read but don't expect an action plot such as those in Petals in the Storm.
