Hearth or Heart

Summary:

‘The charm, the wit, and the careful historical texture will enchant Regency readers.’

To save her family, she must reform and marry her wayward cousin. But her heart has other ideas.

After her father’s death, Effie Bowman and her eight sisters are left penniless and homeless. Their only salvation? The scandalous Mr Thornaby, the new custodian of their estate.

But Mr Thornaby’s wild behaviour threatens everything. To protect her family, Effie must moderate him.

She recruits the help of Sir John Callander, society’s most determined widower. He’s powerful, arrogant, and has no interest in remarrying.

Yet as the season unfolds and Effie pulls Sir John deeper into her schemes, she begins to realise something dangerous: she may be trying to tame the wrong gentleman.
