How to Best A Marquess (The Widow Rules, 3)
After the disaster of an illegal marriage to Meri, a ‘trigamist,’ Beth Howell vows never to marry again. Thus when her irresponsible brother demands she now marry an aged peer, she determines to recover her dowry and live in independence. But what did Meri do with it? To track it down, she enlists the help of Julian Raleah, Marquess of Grayson, the only man with whom she has ever fallen in love. Since he needs the money which she promises to share with him, Julian reluctantly agrees, but it does not take long for the embers of their feelings for each other to burst in flame.
The plot rambles and coincidences abound as they travel across the country, retracing the path of her errant not-husband, but this story will satisfy readers looking for a sentimental (and steamy) Regency romance, where the villains are suitably punished, the truly repentant win forgiveness for their mistakes, and the devoted lovers find happiness after a period of suffering. Book 3 of The Widow Rules series.
