Publisher Description
The USA Today bestselling author gives readers “a delightfully heartwarming escape into the sparkling world of the Regency. Ella Quinn weaves magic” (Cathy Maxwell, New York Times bestselling author).
Meet the soon-to-be Earl and Countess of Worthington in the first book in a dazzling series . . .
Lady Grace Carpenter is ready to seize the day—or rather, the night—with the most compelling man she’s ever known. Marriage would mean losing guardianship of her beloved siblings, and surely no sane gentleman will take on seven children not his own. But if she can have one anonymous tryst with Mattheus, Earl of Worthington, Grace will be content to live out the rest of her life as a spinster.
Matt had almost given up hope of finding a wife who could engage his mind as well as his body. And now this sensual, intelligent woman is offering herself to him. What could be more perfect? Except that after one wanton night, the mysterious Grace refuses to have anything to do with him. Amid the distractions of the Season he must convince her, one delicious encounter at a time, that no obstacle—or family—is too much for a man who’s discovered his heart’s desire . . .
Praise for the Worthingtons series
“A classic Regency romp! Perfect for fans of Grace Burrowes.”—Caroline Linden, USA Today bestselling author
“The happy and chaotic family life that takes place around the edges of the love story is what makes this novel so delightful. A fun read.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A refreshing take on historical-romance conventions.”—Booklist
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Quinn (Lady Beresford's Lover) opens a Regency series with this unexceptional installment. Lady Grace Carpenter doesn't expect she'll ever wed. With seven brothers and sisters entirely under her care and a tenuous grasp on their guardianship, even if she could find a man willing to take on her responsibilities, she would never be able to trust him. When an unexpected rain storm waylays her for a night at an inn with Lord Worthington, her expectations are overturned. What she intended to be a single night of passion, the memories of which would carry her through a life of spinsterhood, turns into a whirlwind courtship. The two lovers struggle to avoid drawing the attention of scandalmongers during the London season. Worthington has four sisters of his own to care for, heaping a pile of practical concerns atop the lovers' very real struggle to stop making out long enough to get anything done. This light, cheery romance coasts comfortably toward its awkwardly fumbled ending.
