In this hilarious second installment of a Regency romance series, a single lord is forced to settle down...and when a houseparty brings a happy-go-lucky lady's companion his way, his grumpy heart is unexpectedly warmed.

Nine years ago, Lord Guy Harrowby, Viscount Wennington, was publicly humiliated by a failed and reckless romantic gesture. Despite this, his mother clings to the promise he made her then: that she would have a house full of grandchildren by his thirtieth birthday. Still single, embittered, and swiftly approaching thirty, Guy's work is his life. In desperation, his mother blindsides Guy with a weeklong house party at his estate filled with annoying debutantes, all competing to be his wife.

After failing as a governess, Lottie Travers is struggling as a lady’s companion. Raised in an all-male household, she’s developed habits that get her dismissed. Even after years of Miss Prentice’s teachings of how to be a lady, she climbs trees better than she embroiders and can’t resist riding horses astride, in breeches. But with the family farm in trouble, and her father now in dire need of her wages, she’s determined to conquer her wildness once and for all.

Even with his home full of eligible women, there is only one who catches Guy’s eye—though he tries to deny it. For Lottie, succeeding in her new role proves difficult when the Wennington estate is filled with horses, and a spark ignites between her and the grumpy lord. Will they remain stuck in their ways, or learn that they may just be the perfect match?

Lottie Travers is one of Miss Prentice’s Protegees. She is a country girl who loves the outdoors and horses, and has a bit of a wild side. Since a grand embarrassment a few years ago, Guy Harrowby has stayed and worked at his estate, away from society. They meet when she becomes companion to his aunt and come with her to a house party intended to find a bride for Guy. The houseful of “eligible” ladies doesn’t catch his eye, but Lottie does. They have much in common. They both love the outdoors, their farms, and horses. When his mother and aunt’s scheme, and Lottie’s part in it, becomes known, it causes a rift. When a jealous party attendee spreads lies about Lottie’s involvement with Guy, she is fired and sent away. Is that the end of it? Well… This well-written charming romp is full of humor, wit, sassy banter, romance, and a wonderful happy ending in the middle of Gunter’s. The audiobook was a treat, a splendid narration by Eva Feller and Shane East.
