She’ll do anything to escape an arranged marriage. He’ll do anything to help her.

Honora Crauford relishes her life in India. So when her father informs her of his latest business transaction—marrying her off to a bankrupt nobleman in England—her only hope for returning home is to convince her betrothed, by whatever antics necessary, that a marriage to her comes at a cost that not even the greatest fortune can justify. 

Graham Whitworth can hardly believe his wretched luck. It seems the only way to save his family’s insolvent estate is to comply with his father’s demands and marry the extremely wealthy, but utterly ridiculous, nabob’s daughter. But when Honora missteps, Graham discerns her farce and begins to see who she truly is—a most impressive lady. A lady likely capable of fixing his family’s financial troubles. 

Realizing they both desire freedom, Graham and Honora join forces to restore the Whitworth estate and return Honora to her beloved India. But sometimes love has its own agenda, and the revoking of a once undesirable arrangement may just prove to be the greatest sacrifice of all.  


I read The Nabob’s Daughter by Jess Heileman on Kindle Unlimited, and immediately after finishing it I bought the paperback because I loved it so much!

I seriously hated every time I had to put it down. Honora and Graham were the cutest couple, and I loved how they interacted with each other. I also loved all the rich details of India that the author included.

This book was so sweet and yet hilarious as well; the perfect combination! On top of that, it had a twist that I didn’t see coming. I loved this book, and I highly recommend it. It was one of the best releases of the year.
