First Comes Marriage

Recently elected to the House of Commons, Noel Langston is on a mission to reform England's cruel treatment of the poor, especially women and children. A foundling himself, he understands better than most the fate that awaits those who cannot afford to care for themselves or their offspring. So when he stumbles upon the mistress of his bitterest political rival during a visit to a workhouse, he is both shocked and horrified. Upon realizing that she is pregnant, he sees an opportunity to help her and her unborn child?and to ruffle the feathers of the politician who most often stands in the way of Noel's reformist agenda.

First comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage. Can love come last?
