Publisher Description
Love conquers even the most unlikely lord in USA Today bestselling author Ella Quinn’s delightful Lords of London series, as a reformed rogue endeavors to prove himself worthy of his chosen bride . . .
Mistakes happen, to be sure. Rarely are those mistakes as unfortunate as the one made by Nathanael, Viscount Fotherby, when he abducted the now Lady Merton to save his friend from marriage. Nate has been trying to make amends ever since, leaving behind his self-centered ways to fulfill his duties—and that includes finding a wife of his own. One woman sparks his interest above all others—a lady he helped when she was rescuing a child. Alas, there is a devilish complication . . .
Miss Henrietta Stern, Lady Merton’s younger sister, is intrigued by the stranger who comes to her aid—until she learns his identity. Nate’s stunt could have ruined her sister’s reputation, and her family may never forgive him. With beauty, connections, and a sizeable dowry, Henrietta has plenty of admirers. Yet no other suitor quickens her pulse quite like Nate does. Her heart insists that the gentleman has changed for the better. But can a renowned scoundrel possibly prove himself to be the perfect husband?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A man reinvents himself to atone for the mistakes of his past in Quinn's lovely third Lords of London romance (after The Most Eligible Viscount in London). Several years prior to the start of the novel, Nate, Viscount Fotherby, abducted Dotty Stern, a woman he believed was wrong for his friend the Marquis of Merton, to prevent their match. His plan failed and he's been exiled ever since, but he returns to London to redeem himself by helping a friend find a missing woman at a workhouse. There he meets Henrietta Stern, who's rescuing an ill infant from the poor conditions of the workhouse, and helps her to avoid a confrontation with potential assailants. When Nate discovers that Henrietta is Dotty's sister, he fears that her family will prevent him from seeing her again. But as Nate and Henrietta overcome her family's resistance, they discover a mutual attraction enhanced by their joint efforts to help the less fortunate. Quinn charms with these uniquely progressive, affable members of the aristocracy. Historical romance fans will delight in this well-plotted romp.
Customer Reviews
Lackluster
I’ve loved the marriage game series and the worthingtons but this lords of Londons series has been severely lacking in the chemistry, adventure, and romance of those series. Ms. Quinn needs to let these characters go and start fresh.
