An Unexpected Proposal

Discover two timeless Betty Neels romances filled with convenient engagements, longing, and fresh starts. Paradise For Two Prudence Makepeace had a soft heart, and so she readily gave up her own plans in order to escort her godmother to Holland. Once there, Prudence found the country and the Dutch people charming, with one exception — the overbearing Dr Haso ter Brons Huizinga. As infuriating as the man was, sparks flew whenever they met, and Prudence couldn’t deny a certain attraction to him. But why was she fretting over Haso? After all, he was about to get married. Little did Prudence know that the doctor’s wedding plans weren’t quite finalised. There was still the small matter of his intended bride… Uncertain Summer When her fiancé jilted her, Serena gave up all hope of ever getting married. She was determined to be sensible about the whole thing; that was, until Gijs suggested that she marry him. She liked Gijs very much, and she knew he was fond of her. Companionship seemed as good a basis as any for a marriage — who needed romance anyway? But it turned out Gijs was in love, and Serena couldn’t work out who the lucky woman was.
