Susie

Widowed on her wedding night, an ordinary woman is plunged into a world of scheming and misadventure in this romantic comedy set in Edwardian England.

Married off to an elderly earl, Susie finds that her romantic daydreams don’t match her reality—but a twist of fate saves her from her lecherous new husband and leaves her with a fortune . . . along with a meddling mother-in-law determined to transform her into a lady worthy of London society.

There is no shortage of suitors for a wealthy young widow, but Susie yearns for genuine passion, not grasping greed. Perhaps she can find it with the attractive Sir Giles—if only he could be convinced that she isn’t a seductive schemer out for herself . . .

Previously published under the names Jennie Tremaine and Marion Chesney, this rollicking tale by the New York Times–bestselling author follows the fortunes of a delightful heroine in her rocky search for true love.
