Perchance to Marry

~~~ first Mills & Boon publication 1961

Marcus Durant had suggested to Sally Sheppard that she become "engaged" to him, in an effort to put his beloved grandmother's mind at rest. It would be purely a temporary measure, he explained, with no real feelings on either side.

With anyone but Marcus, Sally would have entered into the spirit of the thing, treated it all as a joke. But, far too late, she realized she had fallen in love with him too hard to take the affair anything but seriously.

Hero: Marcus Durant
