A marriage made in?

The Wedding Wager by Eva Devon

Derek Marcus Andrew Kent, the Duke of Chase, can’t help but interfere when he sees the Marquess of Halford use his eldest daughter as collateral for a bet at a club with a known bouncer. One Halford should have wished to keep his daughter well away from. Chase knew he was going to regret interfering. On the other hand he might have just found a solution to his own pressing problem—a wife with no strings attached.

Lady Victoria Kirby was acknowledged as different and difficult, known for using her tongue as a weapon. Without knowing her, Chase admired that. 

All Victoria wanted to do was to excavate the ancient burial sites on the family property. Now her father’s actions have put that in doubt. Chase and Victoria relationship might not be one made in heaven, and they do have a long way to travel, but the getting there is quite interesting.

I was concerned by a reference to life, lemons and lemonade, one that didn’t come into being until the early 1900’s. It just struck an odd note.
