From the award-winning author of The Summer Bride comes the first in a charming new historical romance series where marriages of convenience turn into true love matches.
Major Calbourne Rutherford returns to England on the trail of an assassin, only to find he’s become Lord Ashendon, with the responsibility for vast estates and dependent relatives. Cal can command the toughest of men, but his wild half-sisters are quite another matter. They might just be his undoing.
When he discovers that Miss Emmaline Westwood, the girls’ former teacher, guides them with ease, Cal offers her a marriage of convenience. But strong-minded and independent Emm is neither as compliant nor as proper as he expected, and Cal finds himself most inconveniently seduced by his convenient wife.
Emm knows they didn’t marry for love, yet beneath her husband’s austere facade, she catches glimpses of a man who takes her breath away. As pride, duty and passion clash, will these two stubborn hearts find more than they ever dreamed of?

      Starred review from April 15, 2017

      As the second son of an earl, Maj. Calbourne Rutherford never imagined he'd ascend to the title. When his older brother dies with no heir, Cal, now Lord Ashendon, inherits an estate in disarray and the guardianship of three happily undisciplined young women. He needs help, and his sisters' former teacher, tall, cool-voiced Emmaline Westwood, is perfect for the job. Unfortunately, Emm can't afford to take a temporary position, and Cal is desperate to get back to tracking down a sharp-shooting assassin. As Emm refuses, Cal does the only thing he can--he proposes marriage. VERDICT With deep character insight, subtle humor matched with rapier wit, and brilliant repartee, Gracie puts a refreshing spin on a classic romance trope and delivers another knockout Regency that will keep fans enthralled. Gracie (The Summer Bride) lives in Melbourne, Australia.

      Maj. Calbourne Rutherford has unexpectedly inherited his brother's title and is now responsible for his two half sisters and a niece, as well as the estates that come with the Ashendon title. Nobility isn't the first thing on Cal's mind--he's on the hunt for the Scorpion, a deadly assassin--so he searches for a wife to manage both the girls and the houses. Teacher Emmaline Westwood seems to fit the bill, so Cal proposes. But Emm is much more than he bargained for. VERDICT Cal and Emm manage to resolve their issues without the communication breakdowns that plague lesser romances, and Gracie (The Summer Bride) keeps the plot moving and genuine in this enjoyable new Regency series starter.
