Publisher Description
Award-Winning Regency Romance Author on the Rise
Griffith, Duke of Riverton, likes order, logic, and control, and he naturally applies this rational approach to his search for a bride. He's certain Miss Frederica St. Claire is the perfect wife for him, but while Frederica is strangely elusive, he can't seem to stop running into her stunningly beautiful cousin, Miss Isabella Breckenridge.
Isabella should be enjoying her society debut, but with her family in difficult circumstances, her uncle will only help them if she'll use her beauty to assist him in his political aims. Already uncomfortable with this agreement, the more she comes to know Griffith, the more she wishes to be free of her unfortunate obligation.
Will Griffith and Isabella be able to set aside their pride and face their fears in time to find their own happily-ever-after?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hunter's final installment in the Hawthorne House series will delight those already invested in the series as well as any reader who enjoys stories set in Regency-era England. Finally it's time for family patriarch Griffith, Duke of Riverton, to find love after seeing all his siblings happily married. His chosen bride, Miss Frederica St. Claire, isn't sure about the attentions of a duke though, and may be in love with another anyway. It's her cousin, Isabella Breckenridge, who is the center of attention instead, with her stunning beauty and flirting ways. Griffith is attracted to her, and she is beginning to warm up to him, but there is much more to her story than anyone guesses. Although she maintains a beautiful fa ade for her society debut, Isabella's uncle has been pressuring her to use her single status to help him out of financial straits. Will the duke ever dance with Isabella? Will her uncle's plans succeed? As the London Season plays out, secrets are revealed, past loves return, and hearts align despite a fair amount of underhanded conniving to create a fitting finale to the series and a lovely addition to the Regency genre.
