Charming story

This is another lovely addition to The Lady series. It is Book 20 of the series and the story focuses on William Norrington. Although quite an eligible bachelor, he has successfully avoided the marriage mart. However he cannot do so for much longer, because he has a duty to fulfill. While betrothed to one from a very young age, he unexpectedly falls in love with another. Lady Sarah captures his heart from the very moment he meets her and helps her out when she is stranded on the road with a broken carriage. The more time he spends with Sarah and gets to know her, the more he is drawn to her. The story is filled with twists and turns as William struggles between duty and love.
The story was well-written with charming characters. I listened to this as an audiobook and enjoyed the narration, which helped bring the story to life. Looking forward to the next one!
