Synopsis

In this "exquisite gem from a master" of Regency Romance, one duke's plan to find a bride makes for a most entertaining house party (Library Journal).

Julian St. David, Duke of Haverford, is barely keeping his head above water in a sea of inherited debts. Though he has a long-term plan to restore the family finances, his sister has a much faster solution: host a house party for London's single young ladies and find Julian a wealthy bride.

Elizabeth Windham has no interest in marriage, but a recent scandal has forced her hand. As much as she'd rather be reading Shakespeare than husband-hunting, she has to admit she's impressed by Julian's protective instincts, broad shoulders, and, of course, his vast library.

As the two spend more time together, their attraction is overwhelming, unexpected... and absolutely impossible. With meddling siblings, the threat of financial ruin, and gossips lurking behind every potted palm, will they find true love or true disaster?

"Smart, sexy, and oh-so-romantic." -- Mary Balogh
"Grace Burrowes is a romance treasure." -- Tessa Dare

If you grow weary of reading about rakes and villains and the seamier sides of 19th century Great Britain, turn to a Grace Burrowes book for a change of pace.

Goodreads review by Mei on November 22, 2017

There's no other answer: it must be me... I appreciate Ms. Burrowes ability with words and her writing, but the execution and content of the story is sadly lacking for me. I was bored and bored and bored with all the useless things happening in this book. Nothing important happened. All the characters......more

Goodreads review by Wollstonecrafthomegirl on November 20, 2017

So, last time I read a GB, I threw all my toys out of the pram, stomped around and declared, “this will not do!” I wasn’t reading another one until someone else went there first and confirmed that GB got her groove back. Well, enter, Lady Wesley. Delicately approaching me in my ragey state and cauti......more

Goodreads review by Jan on April 04, 2018

I started off by liking this book, but by the end it had become a little repetitive and I was getting a bit frustrated by the slow plot development. I liked the key couple, Elizabeth Windham and her duke, Haverford. They were lovely together. They didn't expect to like each other or to be attracted,......more
