Long ago, young Viscount Bradley’s prudish family forbade
him to marry his beloved. Now, the aging lord has plotted a
subtle revenge. His three nephews can split his fortune, but
only if each marries a fallen woman. Two have found brides
who meet the terms . . . and all depends on the youngest,
Peregrine Sullivan. New York Times bestselling author Jane
Feather’s Georgian trilogy concludes with a sexy tale sure
to delight.
Only desperation would drive a lady to disguise herself in
hopes of employment, but the twenty thousand pounds that
their father promised beautiful Alexandra Douglas and her
invalid younger sister has vanished into the hands of the
greedy cousin who inherited the estate. Alexandra, in search
of justice, embarks on an elaborate charade to infiltrate
Combe Abbey, her ancestral home, and secretly take the money
back.
Peregrine, visiting the Abbey, is intrigued by a woman whose
mind matches his on every level. Who is this middle-aged
spinster with a young woman’s eyes and a youthful step that
even a limp cannot disguise? Sensing some scandalous secret,
Perry assumes the lady would delight in being rescued. But
his efforts are rebuffed; Alexandra will take care of
herself and her sister, thank you very much. Can Perry court
the daring and independent young woman, win her heart, and
be the last brother to wed?
