Lady Eve's Got The Perfect Plan
Pretty, petite Evie Windham has been more indiscreet than her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Moreland, suspect. Fearing that a wedding night would reveal her past, she's running out of excuses to dodge adoring swains. Lucas Denning, the newly titled Marquis of Deene, has reason of his own for avoiding marriage. So Evie and Deene strike a deal, each agreeing to be the other's decoy. At this rate, matrimony could be avoided indefinitely...until the two are caught in a steamy kiss that no one was supposed to see.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After losing her virtue to a cad and her nerve to a dreadful riding accident, Lady Eve Windham, the duke of Moreland's youngest daughter, decided to avoid marriage and horses. Seven years later, Lucas Denning, the marquis of Deene, needs an heir and a titled wife with a large dowry to support the legal battle for custody of his niece. Lady Eve is the perfect candidate, but she refuses his proposal until their attraction leads to being caught in flagrante. When Deene makes one last desperate play for custody, Eve must literally get back up on the horse to help. While less overtly erotic than other series entries, Burrowes's seventh Windham family Regency (following Lady Louisa's Christmas Knight) is just as captivating when she masterfully turns a simple kiss into an exceptional moment ripe with anticipation. Friendship blossoming into love grounds a solid story about healing from trauma and reclaiming life and spirit.

If you loved The Heir, you'll love this!
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I've read all the previous books in series and at times it felt very formulaic. I will say that while this book started off slowly (with all the others in the series in mind) I felt that this book felt more like my series' favourite, The Heir. I found it interesting how, like her sisters, Eve is her own unique personality. I found it refreshing that Lucas was forward-thinking and didn't see Eve as less than his equal. I recommend this book and if you haven't read the series, suggest that you do so. They're titled and rich but they have imperfections that show them to be human, people like us. Eve is a strong and guarded character and at this juncture, my favourite of the sisters as I'm sure Jenny will become given the buildup to her book.
