News Wire:

It is said when it comes to matters of the heart that in love all things are 
possible.  How likely is it for two people from extremely different 
backgrounds to find love and stay together in a lasting relationship? How 
difficult is it for a man who takes pride in a hard day's work to accept 
that his wife is  a millionaire many times over?

That is the troubling scenario of Eva Rutland's Million Dollar Marriage, 
just one of her Whirlwind Wedding novels. Is acceptance of a spouse's wealth 
a kindness or obligation as a part of marriage itself? If pride should be 
sacrificed or put on the back burner for love, how does one accomplish it?

Million Dollar Marriage is one of the very best romance novels I have read. 
Gentle and tender in the loving sentiments it expresses, you will find 
yourself rooting for this couple to find love that not only lingers after 
their first passionate kiss but will find yourself aching for them to find 
love that last long before they share love's embrace.  Although they reach 
the heights of ecstasy, express their love for each other in tender words 
and caresses, still they doubt. At some point, love begins the process that 
finds its strength and commitment in being together. In romance, it is the 
getting there that is problematic. After nights of tossing and turning, 
sleepless nights that tear the heart and soul apart, love wins. What fun! 
In the very best romances, we fall in love with the characters as we watch 
them fall in love with each other. You will love them.

Eva Rutland started writing after losing her vissionin her fifties. 
Dedicated to her craft, she learned to use a computer and at the age of 92, 
she is learning to use a new one now. Life, she says, is an adventure as 
love is. Love is a   voyage of discovery each couple takes as they get to 
know each other as only  lovers can do.

Soft spoken and optimistic, Eva believes in the love she writes about. With 
Eva Rutland, you will travel to love and tenderness.

Here is the information from the National Library Service download site
