A Proposal to Wed (The Beautiful Barringtons #9)
Kathleen Ayers

Gerald Waterstone, her father, is drowning in debt and would never sell his precious horse farm. He’d much rather trade his lisping spinster of a daughter to Lord Dufton in return for being made whole. But it isn’t Lucy Dufton wants, rather the estate attached to her skirts. Marsden. She has no idea why Dufton covets Marsden or even what it is. The only thing Lucy cares about is avoiding Dufton.
Fortunately, Dufton isn’t the only one who wants Marsden.
Harrison Estwood, the object of Lucy’s girlish affections, also wants Marsden. He’s been trying to buy the property, only Marsden isn’t for sale. And Estwood doesn’t like or trust Lucy given the animosity between him and her father.
Summoning what little courage she possesses, Lucy makes Estwood a daring proposal. After all, if she is to be bartered for a piece of property, Lucy would rather handle the negotiations herself.
Marriage in return for Marsden. Will Estwood accept?
A Proposal to Wed is Book 9 in The Beautiful Barringtons.
