Content in a quiet life with friends and family, the young widow has no desire to marry again. But when Hugo, Lord Trentham, scoops her up in his arms after a fall, she feels a sensation that both shocks and emboldens her. Hugo is a gentleman in name only: a war hero whose bravery earned him a title, a merchant's son who inherited his wealth. He is happiest when working the land, but duty and title now demand that he finds a wife. Hugo doesn't wish to court Gwen, yet he cannot resist her guileless manner, infectious laugh, and lovely face. He wants her, but will she have him? The dour ex-military officer who so gallantly carried Gwen to safety is a man who needs a lesson in winning a woman's heart. But through courtship and seduction, Gwen soon finds that with each kiss, and with every caress, Hugo captivates her more--with his desire, with his love, and with the promise of forever.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"[Mary Balogh] writes with wit and wisdom. . . . \u003ci\u003eThe Proposal\u003c\/i\u003e is both moving and entertaining and the beginning of what promises to be an outstanding series.\"--Romance Reviews Today\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"A historical romance of unusual thoughtfulness and depth.\"--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes a preview of Mary Balogh's \u003ci\u003eThe Arrangement\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Dell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942680264935,"sku":"9780440245308","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_ea4ae51f-3ec9-455b-a141-68d07705bae1.jpg?v=1775266730","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/the-proposal","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
