Book about Alexandra marrying a man...?

[ricard83]

I'm trying to help my mom find this book she read a long time ago. The details might not be completely accurate.

This man(his name might be George) falls in love with Alexandra, but his family doesn't trust her because they believe she is in it only for the money. He is older than she is, but the get married anyway. After years have passed, he passes away, and he gives Alexandra his business. Throughout their time together, he taught her everything about that business because she was so interested. His mother wanted to keep the business, but Alexandra refused to give in and because of this his family adored her strength and accepted her. She later married a lawyer( his name might be Peter), who helped George with his business. George once said that if he should die, Peter would be a perfect match for Alexandra

If anyone recognizes this story, it would mean the world if you could tell me the title or author.
