The Mischievous Virgin

By

Chapter One

Dare stared down from his six feet four inches to the diminutive five foot something miss who was about to become his bride. He would have preferred the guillotine to matrimony. A shame he wasn’t French and born a decade or two earlier, it would have solved all his problems.

The way things were going, he half expected, she’d say I don’t instead of I do. But only if he was incredibly lucky.

Only a week ago her father had approached him, he knew the Wolverton estate was in need of repair and an heir, as he bluntly put it, his daughter was available with a very large dowry and he wanted her settled immediately.

“Why not give her a London Season?” Dare asked suspiciously, only willing to entertain the notion because it would absolve him of the unfortunate duty of attending both Almack’s and a series of hot stuffy ballrooms in search of an appropriate wealthy bride.

“Daizie has her own ideas and she is well…somewhat unconventional!”

“How unconventional?”

“Unfortunately so.”

“Is she ugly?” he had to ask, there must be some reason other than the girl being somewhat unconventional that her father would deny her a Season. “A hooked nose? rotten teeth? spots? big ears…knock knees…?”

“Good God no!” Edward Sinclair replied in horror.

“Fat?” he suggested.

“No.”

“Difficult?”

“Unusual,” Edward repeated patiently.

Dare sighed, this was no explanation.

“She’s as adorable as her Mamma was!” Edward informed him. Dare frowned, trying to remember if he’s ever met the late Lady Sinclair, if he had, it was too many years ago to form a clear picture. But he could ask around, perhaps his mother or one of his aunts had known her.

“You’ll need a wealthy bride sooner or later Dare. Why not allow me to save you the trouble of looking? Surely you must realize that one young debutante is very much like another. I am offering you a king’s ransom to take her off my hands, and spare you an eternity of boring visits to Almack’s, and the machinations of a few dozen matchmaking mammas.”

Since Dare had had the very same thought himself, he’d been unable to argue the point, and meeting a debutante briefly under her guardian’s watchful eye it would be more than impossible to ascertain anything about her personality. He would be no better off than if he simply agreed to this odd proposal.

So, here he was, one week later, having procured a special license, staring down at the young girl he’d met only moments ago as she walked down the aisle on her father’s arm. Her father had insisted they not meet until the wedding, unwisely he’d agreed.

“At least she’s not dog ugly,” Wynne, his best man nudged him and whispered as she approached and finally came to a halt beside him. He released a pent up breath, even beneath the exquisite fine lace veil he could see that she was surprisingly adorable, which unnerved him all the more, what was wrong with her then? There was no time to consider the matter further though as the vicar immediately began the reading of the vows.
