From Back Cover of Book: “When Mary Bascombe’s stepfather tries to sell her and her sisters to the highest bidder after their mother’s death, she resolves to take drastic action. Although their British mother was estranged from her family, Mary decides the four will flee to London and take their place in society as granddaughters of the Earl of Stewkesbury. Dashing Sir Royce Winslow doubts the honesty of the young women’s claim—despite their charms, they seem to be hiding something. His attraction to feisty Mary, however, is no ruse, so when the sisters are shipped off to Willowmere, the earl’s country estate, to acquire some polish, Royce is quick to join them. When an unknown villain attempts a kidnapping, Royce and Mary are thrown together as they confront the danger . . . and Royce learns that while high society may sing the praises of proper behavior, it is a most improper American who is winning his heart.”
This is the first book in the Willowmere series. Mary comes to England with her three sisters to find a grandfather that her mother had to leave. When things start going badly they are rescued by Sir Royce. As things unfold we find that they keep getting thrown together. The two keep have such dynamic conversations that keep the story going. The side characters are just as well written. With the twists and turns in the story just keep it that much more exciting. I really liked this book and can’t wait to read the next book, A Gentleman Always Remembers.
