Abhorrence and Affection
Madeline Courtney2015

Bethany Benedicts; smart, beautiful, and terribly single… but she won’t let that little bump in the road get her down. She has plans, you see… to be married by the end of the year to a rich, handsome gentleman… but those plans are ruined when her father informs her she must marry her childhood rivalry, Mr. Nicholas Oakley, to help her family out of their terrible debt. Though Mr. Oakley is certainly rich enough, Beth cannot bring herself to like him, let alone love him as a good wife would. This is the story of true love and how life doesn’t always turn out the way you expect it. Inspired by Jane Austen.... with a sensual twist.
