A Nice Weekend Story

I enjoyed this relatively short book over one weekend. It was fun to go through an entire book in a short period of time and have fun during the whole time. Though not a story with a lot of depth, it certainly kept my interest. Young Verity is about to marry a much older man. So, to have one taste of passion she decides to spend one night in Galen Bromney's bed. Galen is a rake if there every one was, but he's not used to women coming unannounced and uninvited to his bedroom-especially a virgin. It's one night of passion that changes Galen forever. He goes to Italy for 10 years to 'find himself.' When he returns he finds Verity at a ball he is attending--along with her 10 year old daughter who looks like a spitting image of himself. Her husband (who she actually turned out to love-in almost a fatherly way) has been dead for two years. After a confrontation, she admits the girl, Jocelyn, is his daughter. The rest of the story involves his discovery of love and family and a villainous brother in law out for money and his sister-in-law.
