NYT and USA Today best-selling author! Nominated for the prestigious romance Rita award!

John Fitzhugh Wyckerly has been the spare heir all his life, supporting himself with gambling and charm. The news that he's inherited the bankrupt title of earl of Danecroft shatters his indolent world. Even penniless, he's always paid his debts, but now the estate's creditors are closing in. He can fake his death and run for cover or accept overwhelming responsibility and find a rich wife - one who will also accept his illegitimate terror of a daughter.

On his way to find an heiress, he meets Abigail Merriweather, who is neither rich nor aristocratic, but she can tame The Terror and stomp cockroaches. Unfortunately she needs a wealthy, powerful man who will fight her father's executor and retrieve her four half siblings. When an unexpected inheritance falls into Abby's lap, she sets out for London to seek a lawyer.

Can Fitz charm his practical Abby into trusting him to save her siblings when it's doubtful that he can even save himself? And can Abby surrender reason and logic for the folly of love offered by a man who can have any woman he wants but insists he wants only her?

The characters in this book are quirky and fascinating, and The narrator captures their individuality. The book is very humorous, with romance and a touch of mystery to round it out. If you like Regency romances, I highly recommend it!

One of the best Regency romances I’ve ever read

This one started out slow for me. Had to set it aside for a bit but once I picked it up again, it took off. Fairly good read, one I will probably revisit. Loved the character of John Wyckerly and his mischievous little daughter Penelope. Great story, funny and heartwarming. Abigail and John were perfect for each other.

slow start , but....

I enjoyed Fitz, Abbie snd the kids! I figured out early on who was behind the rock throwing, yet it was fun to finally have ALL the loose ends tied up.
I’m on to the next installment!

Cute & funny!
