"Corpus Bones! I utterly loathe my life." Catherine feels trapped. Her father is determined to marry her off to arich man--any rich man no matter how awful. But by wit trickery and luck Catherine manages to send several would-be husbands packing. Then a shaggy-bearded suitor from the north comes to call--by far the oldest ugliest most revolting suitor of them all. Unfortunately he is also the richest. Can a sharp-tongued high-spirited clever young maiden with a mind of her own actually lose the battle against an ill-mannered piglike lord and an unimaginative greedy toad of a father? Deus! Not if Catherine has anything to say about it! Catherine feels trapped. Her father is determined to marry her off to a rich man--any rich man no mater how awful.
