This is season three for Lady Cordelia on the marriage mart.  She is the daughter of a Duke who was raised to be everything that the ton envisioned as a lady.  She would marry a Duke and run a household with aloof precision after all her nickname was the ice princess.  However it was looking more and more like she would be a wallflower and perhaps a spinster if she didn’t make a match.  Lord Rockport, who also happened to be a Scottish laird, was not in the market for a wife.  In fact last year he would have nothing to do with Lady Codelia the ice princess.  Lord Rockport hated balls and would not attend one; however he was chased into the ball by a thug wishing him harm.  He needed to create a diversion so he danced with Cordelia.  She by no means was interested in dancing with him as he had publicly denounced her writing in the Wallflower Handbook.  Through a number of mishaps and misunderstandings they end up in a cross country run to Gretta Green to elope into an arranged marriage that protects both of them she would live in Kent and he would live in Scotland.  Do they continue to hate each other or fall in love?  I enjoyed  this story and found it very entertaining.  I love that Bianca Blythe writes strong female characters who stand up for what they want.
