New Title
Suzy Stewart Dubot

A plain, 30-year-old spinster has just lost the father who held her on a strict rein with disdain. She is expected to mourn, but can't help feeling relieved now that he's gone.
She receives a marriage proposal only days after his funeral from a widower she might have seen with her father. She is ready to accept anyone's marriage proposal because, at her age, she can't afford to waste more time. For personal reasons, neither he nor she wishes to wait for the mourning period to be over.
This is a business wedding in black.
