Publisher Description
Wanted: an engagement of convenience. Found: A noble suitor.
Raised on a remote Scottish estate by her adoring grandfather, Lady Theodora Worth has inherited an earldom as well as the land itself. But when an upstart duke challenges her claim to the title and the Ladykyrk estate, Thea is suddenly in need of a husband—in name, at least. An elderly neighbor with a thoroughly modern sensibility and a dashing great-nephew just might be the answer to Thea’s prayers. Except she has no intention of marrying the first man she meets. That would be utterly ridiculous.
It just can’t be him. . .
Lord William Cavensham is entirely too devoted to his family’s estate—ever since he was jilted as a lad--to wed, but he agrees to meet the woman his aunt has taken under her wing—and introduce her to possible suitors. But after just one meeting with beautiful, spirited Thea, Will is determined to help her reclaim her title. And even moreso, he can’t stop thinking that perhaps marriage to this bold, passionate woman may be the one thing he’s been missing all along?
Praise for the Cavensham Heiresses series
“Full-bodied romance…with intelligence and heart.”—New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell
“Sparkling…MacGregor brings England’s Regency era to life.” —Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
MacGregor's bold fifth Cavensham Heiresses Regency (after The Good, the Bad, and the Duke) once again provides a decadently delightful love story that refuses to conform. Thea is a 25-year-old countess in her own right, heir to her grandfather's estate, Ladykyrk. Having taken care of her ailing grandfather for the last seven years of his life, she's still grieving him when she learns she could lose her claim to her beloved lands. Enter William Cavensham, second son of a duke and great-nephew to Thea's neighbor, meddlesome mischief-maker Stella. He's a guarded man who understands a bit of Thea's experiences with the London gossip rags, as well as her sense of duty and loyalty. After only one meeting he's taking up her cause, trying to ease her way into proper society, supporting her bold moves to protect her inheritance, and losing his heart. Filled with delightful characters and an impish innocence, the novel eschews many of the common Regency romance elements, blazing a new trail of complementary character weaknesses and strengths. Readers will lose their hearts (and a few tears) to the Cavensham clan.
