When Lord Ferdinand Dudley wins an estate in a card game, he hurries to Pinewood Manor to claim it. He is surprised to find it is already occupied by Miss Viola Thornhill. Viola was given the estate two years ago by the elderly Lord Bamber and refuses to leave what is rightfully hers. Ferdinand says he's not budging either, so they are stuck under the same roof until the true owner can be named. Viola is sure Ferdinand isn't going to like country life, especially when she asks the villagers to help make his life miserable.

This is a well-written historical romance with very likable characters. There was a bit of a surprise in the middle of the book which gave this book a unique twist. My only problem with it was I thought it was a bit of a stretch that the Regency ton would accept Viola into their midst as they did at the end of this book. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
