The scoundrel's daughter

Anne Gracie

Brides of Bellaire Gardens, bk. 1

When Lady Charlton is forced into becoming London's most reluctant matchmaker, sparks fly and romance ensues, from the nationally bestselling author of Marry in Scarlet. Alice, Lady Charlton, is finally free of her dominating husband, but on the verge of her new life, she is trapped when a blackmailer threatens to publish letters that could ruin her. To protect the secrets of her past Alice must find a lord for his daughter, Lucy, to marry. Alice reluctantly agrees to find the girl a noble husband but when Lucy arrives, she's difficult and uncooperative and has no interest in her father's scheme. A lord, she says, will only look down his nose at her-and she's having none of that! Desperate to retrieve the letters, Alice enlists the aid of her handsome young nephew, Gerald, who in turn seeks the help of his former commanding officer, James, Lord Tarrant. James is soon beguiled by the marriage-averse widow and sets out to change her mind. And each time they meet, Gerald and Lucy strike sparks off each other. To find happiness, Alice and Lucy will have to be brave and trust in each other and the men who are attempting to win their hearts. Contains mature themes
