About this listen
Get ready for another helping of dizzying romance and laugh out loud comedy in ‘A Shackleford Victory', the sixth instalment in the Dartmouth Diaries …
After being suspended and subsequently dismissed from her job in the National Crime Agency, Teddy Shackleford reluctantly takes refuge in the quaint town of Dartmouth at the behest of her uncle, retired Admiral Charles Shackleford. Since she holds him partly responsible for the ignominious ending of her career, Teddy thinks the least he can do is give her a temporary roof over her head.
Expecting to spend the summer licking her wounds and keeping her head down, the last thing Teddy expects is to be recruited by an eccentric aristocrat to unravel a tangled web of missing titles and family inheritance.
Determined to solve the mystery, Teddy dives headfirst into her employer's aristocratic world, but as she navigates the labyrinth of lineage and intrigue, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to the enigmatic and charming Sebastian Sinclair, Fourteenth Duke of Blackmore, complicating matters in ways she could never have imagined.
Will she uncover the truth behind the tangled inheritance? And could there be an unexpected prize waiting at the end of her journey?
‘A Shackleford Victory' is a delightful contemporary romantic comedy that will have you laughing and cheering for Teddy as she navigates previously uncharted waters of friends, family and unexpected love.

Story
At thirty two, Victory Shackleford is arguably overweight, undeniably frumpish and the love of her life is a dog. She still lives at home with her father—an eccentric retired Admiral who she considers reckless, irresponsible, and totally incapable of looking after himself. Her father on the other hand thinks Victory is a boring nagging harpy with no imagination or sense of adventure and what's more, he's determined to get her married off. Unfortunately there's no one in the picturesque yachting town of Dartmouth that Tory is remotely interested in, despite her father's best efforts.

Story
Reverend Augustus Shackleford's mission in life (aside from ensuring the collection box was suitably full every Sunday) was to secure advantageous marriages for each of his eight daughters. A tall order, given the fact that in the Reverend's opinion they didn't possess a single ladylike bone in the eight bodies they had between them. Quite where he would find a wealthy titled gentleman bottle headed enough to take any of them on remained a mystery and indeed was likely to test even his legendary resourcefulness.

Since coming to Dartmouth, Teddy Shackleford has been happier than she’s ever been. Not only is she surrounded by family and friends, but she’s also been dating Sebastian Sinclair, the fourteenth Duke of Blackmore for over a year.

However, when a story about her absent mother’s unusual profession is unexpectedly splashed over all the national newspapers, she’s faced with the fact that the end might come a little quicker…
