Publisher Description
Thanks to his profligate father, Phineas Radford is in dire straits. His estate verges on bankruptcy, and he doesn’t have the funds to maintain his family’s botanical gardens--an intrinsic part of Marrywell’s annual May Day Matchmaking Festival. He prays no one learns of his secret desperation or there will be a panic about the future of the festival, which everyone relies on to fill their own coffers. The only way to save his estate and the town is to find an heiress to wed before time runs out.
After seven years away, Leah Webster returns home as the companion to a wealthy young Society lady who is in search of a husband. Her employer quickly captures the attention of Leah's oldest friend...and longtime secret tendre. Leah is determined to prevent the terrible mismatch between the provincial Phin and the High Society jewel until she discovers Phin’s noble reasons for the courtship. Though her own heart will surely break, Leah hatches an imprudent plan to save her town and the man she still loves.
Customer Reviews
Love or money
Darcy Burke is on a roll with this series.
I really enjoyed Romancing the Heiress. Leah is back for the Marrywell’s Matchmaking Festival, with her employer and charge in tow to find a match.
Her close friend is Phin, a year younger and trying to hide the fact that he must marry wealth to save the gardens and the festival. Leah and Phin are great characters and good people who are caught in a dilemma. Their hearts or duty.
Love or money.
Recommend.
Love in the Garden
Phin doesn’t have funds to care for the Botanical gardens which are an integral part of the Marrywell Matchmaking Festival. His solution is to find an heiress, perhaps at this year’s festival. After five years, Leah returns to Marrywell as companion to a wealthy young lady hoping to find a match. Phin and Leah were childhood friends. Maybe Leah could help him win Miss Selkirk’s hand? How can Leah help him marry someone else when she has always loved him? This is a wonderful story with engaging characters. Phin and Leah make an awesome couple. There are some problems to solve, a deceitful stepmother and conniving employer, humor, a bit of sizzle, and an enjoyable festival. Another enjoyable journey to the Marrywell Matchmaking Festival.
I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily reviewing it.
Romancing the heiress
Leah and Phil reunite when Leah returns to her home town. She has a lot of bad memories along with the good ones. Then things start turning around and she finds love and the deception that can make hers and Phil’s wishes come true. Another great book to the series.
