Publisher Description
Love Against the Odds
The Earl of Seahaven desperately wanted a son and heir but died leaving nine daughters and a fifth wife. Cruelly turned out by the new earl, they live hand-to-mouth in a small cottage.
The young dowager Countess's one regret is that she cannot give Seahaven's dear girls a chance at happiness.
When a cousin offers the use of her townhouse in York during the season, the Countess rallies her stepdaughters.
They will pool their resources so that the youngest marriageable daughters might make successful matches, thereby saving them all.
So start their adventures in York, amid a whirl of balls, lectures, and al fresco picnics. Is it possible each of them might find love by the time the York horse races bring the season to a close?
Customer Reviews
Connected characters
A family of nine title-rich but dowry-poor girls with very unique interests and abilities made for some very engaging stories. While some of the sisters were showcased in stories, some of their friends or acquaintances in a society were the centre of others. I really liked the uniqueness of each character and how they stayed true to themselves. The fun female/sibling banter as well as the other smile worthy situations that surfaced were enjoyable. It was also quite satisfying to see that there was a perfect match for each that eventually presented and evolved in a HFN/HEA.
