To Catch a Husband

From the height of the Season in London and Bath, to the quiet of the English countryside, each Sophia Holloway novel brings to life a rich world of characters, gentle humour and romantic drama. Each book can be read separately and in any order

The page-turning Regency romance from the author of Kingscastle and The Season...

Gloucestershire, 1813. Miss Mary Lound of Tapley End would be the first to say that she demonstrates more grace with a fishing rod in her hand than she might ever twirling in a ballroom. This was not, however, a problem until her ne'er-do-well brother sold the family estate, leaving Mary and her mother in very straitened circumstances. When the new owner, Sir Rowland Kempsey, takes up residence, Mary decides to direct her energies into recovering her beloved home by catching a husband.

Promisingly, Sir Rowland thinks Miss Lound is a breath of fresh air. But with awkward attempts at flirtation, a duplicitous predator at large in the neighbourhood and the emergence of feelings that complicate her pragmatic goal, Mary discovers that landing the man she wants is more difficult than she had anticipated.

Perfect for fans of classic, slow -burn Regency romance authors like Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen
