Edward, the Earl of Heyward, wouldn't have wanted the title the way he inherited it. He had a comfortable existence, had desultorily made plans for his future matrimony with his comfortable friend and thought he was content to never love. Lady Angeline Dudley turns all of his preconceived notions on end and refuses to be cowed by her unhappy childhood. Despite very little in common, the two of them gradually learn about love and romance even though there are significant obstacles to their relationship. Another exquisitely penned romance from a wonderfully lyrical and romantic author.

The new Earl of Heyward, Edward Ailsbury, knows his duty is to marry a titled lady and produce an heir. He would like to marry his longtime friend, Eunice Goddard, but she has no title and has refused him. His family is pushing for a match with Lady Angeline Dudley, a flamboyant debutante who soon sends his life into chaos. Lady Angeline knows she must marry a titled gentleman, but she doesn't want a rake like her brothers. She wants a quiet ordinary guy. And when Edward rescues her from a scoundrel, she knows she has found her true love. The problem is convincing the Earl of the fact.

This story was a bit slow moving at the beginning. It may be because Edward was such a proper stiff gentleman, he didn't even crack a smile until the middle of the book. The second half of the book flowed much better. I couldn't wait for Angeline to take the starch out of Edward and convince him that he already loved her. I also enjoyed the secondary romance involving Eunice and Windrow. My rating: 4 Stars.
