Publisher Description
Her heart is her own--but her hand in marriage is another matter
Lady Charlotte Featherington is destined for great things on the marriage market. After all, as the beautiful daughter of a marquess, she should have her pick of the eligible nobility when she debuts. She, however, has love at the top of her list of marriageable attributes. And her romantic heart falls hard for one particularly dashing, attentive suitor. Sadly for Charlotte, her noble father intends her betrothed to be someone far more dull.
William Hartwell may be a duke, but he knows he was Charlotte's father's pick, not the young lady's own choice. And the captivating Lady Charlotte does not strike him as a woman who will be wooed by his wealth or title. While she has captured his heart, he has no idea how to win hers in return--and the betrayal and scandal his first wife put him through makes it difficult for him to believe that love can ever be trusted. His only hope is that Charlotte's sense of responsibility will win out over her romantic notions.
Can a widowed duke and a romantically inclined lady negotiate a future and discover love beyond duty? Will they be able to find healing and hope from the legacy of grace?
Poignant and charming, this is another beautifully written, clean and wholesome Regency romance from Carolyn Miller in the tradition of Georgette Heyer and Julie Klassen. Fans of The Elusive Miss Ellison will meet compelling new characters--and a few old friends.
Customer Reviews
Carolyn Miller's The Captivating Lady Charlotte
Beautiful written piece of historical fiction.
This story is power packed with loss and
grieving, emotion and family issues, fear
to love again,forgiveness, personal growth,
friendship and love. There is even some
mystery and suspense with malicious
mischief to add flair to the story.
Spiritual inspiration flowed freely making
the read heartfelt. The difference between
unconditional love with trust and frivolous
crushes with flirting became very clear.
Descriptions were so vivid and detailed that
the reader feels as if they are back in the
1844 era. The ballgowns were exquisite.
The carriage rides exciting.
The main characters, Lady Charlotte
Featherington and Duke William Hartwell
were well fleshed out, interesting and
artfully creative. The supporting characters
were colorful, well defined, some with good
intentions and some devoid of any feelings
but deceit, viciousness and evil.
Recommended read.
