Summary

NYT and USA Today best-selling author!

He's a tradesman; she's a marchioness. They have only one thing in common....

Having married once out of desperation, the virgin widow Lady Belden has no intention of giving up her independence - until her long-lost siblings arrive on her doorstep. By law their guardianship belongs to the power-hungry marquess of Belden, but Bell will defy law and society to keep her newly reunited family together.

Formidable in trade, unlucky in love, Lord Quentin Hoyt has eyed Lady Bell from afar - not just because she possesses the family fortune but because she's the most desirable woman he's ever met. Now that the widowed Bell is ripe for seduction, the shrewd Scotsman is prepared to negotiate the business merger of his lifetime. Who will be the victor when the imperial Lady Bell engages the clever Lord Quentin in a battle of wits over life, lust, and love?

Irritating narration

The narrator gallops along with poor pronunciation and pathetic characterisation. I didn't get past the second chapter.

a nice end to the set

The narrator really needs to work on her accents ... Country, Irish and Scottish.... cringeworthy

Loved it

Loved the whole series. They made me laugh, there were quite a few funny one liners with a lot of English humor. In this last one I also cried.
The narrator was very good especially when she changed to an Irish accent. There are very few female narrators I like but Eliza Jane Cornell was good.
Thank you audible for the free gift.
And thank you Patricia Rice for writing such an entertaining series.
I wish the would be more of this same series.

Best of the bunch

It’s the best of the 4 books, best of the 4 couples. The pronunciation can still be a bit off and grate your ears hear and there but I got through it because the story overcomes it.
