Though she wants nothing to do with any titled gentleman, she reluctantly agrees to help when Rex seeks aid from her employer. When he finally carves out a moment to evaluate his family’s finances, he learns that he - and his sisters - are on the verge of social catastrophe.Įleanora Hatfield has an uncanny knack for numbers, but she knows from experience that dealing with the peerage can only lead to problems. With three sisters to escort about Town, a legion of cousins to look after, and aunties who insist he dance with every eligible young woman, he barely has time to manage his dukedom. Wrexham, Duke of Elsmore, is overrun by family obligations. This sparkling romance does not disappoint.A duke meets his match in the last place he’d ever expect in this charming Regency romance. All of Burrowes’s secondary characters shine with wit and personality, and her sensitive development of two characters living with disabilities in the unaccommodating Regency era is particularly notable. But as their attraction deepens, so too does their connection, and they bond over their shared experiences with abusive fathers and resilient disabled siblings. He agrees and they strike up an unconventional friendship, though Nathaniel fears growing too close, lest Althea discover a secret he’s protecting. Having captured his attention, Althea entreats Nathaniel to mentor her in refining her social skills. Duke Quinn Wentworth’s sister, the competent, forthright Lady Althea, retreats from the brutal gossip and bullying of the London season to Yorkshire, where she provokes a visit from her neighbor Nathaniel Rothmere, the Duke of Rothhaven and an “intimidating sort of eccentric,” by letting her wandering hogs trample his gardens. Burrowes showcases her talent for combining smart Regency romance with modern sensibilities in the fourth Rogues to Riches novel (after Forever and a Duke), which follows the newly titled Wentworth siblings as they fight for society’s acceptance.
