Synopsis

Griffith, Duke of Riverton, likes order, logic, and control, so he naturally applies this rational approach to his search for a bride. While he's certain Miss Frederica St. Claire is the perfect wife for him, she is strangely elusive, and he can't seem to stop running into her stunningly beautiful cousin, Miss Isabella Breckenridge. Isabella should be enjoying her society debut, but with her family in difficult circumstances, she has no choice but to agree to a bargain that puts her at odds with all her romantic hopes--as well as her conscience. And the more she comes to know Griffith, the more she regrets the unpleasant obligation that prevents her from any dream of a future with him. As all Griffith's and Isabella's long-held expectations are shaken to the core, can they set aside their pride and fear long enough to claim a happily-ever-after? "Hunter's final installment in the Hawthorne House series will delight those already invested in the series as well as any reader who enjoys stories set in Regency-era England. … As the London Season plays out, secrets are revealed, past loves return, and hearts align—despite a fair amount of underhanded conniving—to create a fitting finale to the series and a lovely addition to the Regency genre."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

Regency perfection. I didn't want this book to end. ** I just finished bingeing this series. Y'all, this is such a sweet end to it. (The good news is these characters show up in future books...hence the binge. Graham is such a strong, silent hero, and Bella is the heroine who puts herself in an impos......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on October 13, 2017

I was able to read each book in this series back to back, and it was so fun to be immersed in the Regency time period with the members of the Hawthorne family. This last book is Griffith's story, and I was excited for it since he was such a great character in the previous books. While the plot isn't......more
