"Tethered Bones! I detest my existence to the core."
Trapped, feels Catherine. No matter how horrible the wealthy guy, her father is determined to marry her off to one.
However, Catherine succeeds in packing up a number of would-be spouses with cunning, wit, and good fortune. The oldest, ugliest, and most repulsive suitor of them all, with a shaggy beard, then makes an appearance from the north to make his bid.
Regretfully, he also has the most wealth.
Can an impolite, piglike ruler and an unimaginative, selfish toad of a father really be defeated by a sharp-tongued, high-spirited, smart young woman with a mind of her own?
Lord! Not in the event that Catherine weighs in on the matter!
