An Utterly Unsuitable Lady

A Sweet Historical Romance

Beschreibung

The brilliant young professor is in need of a wife, but definitely not this one. Professor Theo Watt needs a suitable wife, or so his mother believes. His dazzling career as a naturalist leaves no time to find one, so he grudgingly defers to her matchmaking. Amidst a string of disappointing candidates, he unexpectedly finds himself charmed by a passing young woman who sacrifices her pretty dress to join him in the muddy rescue of a fish. Slow to trust, Ida Moss hides the scandal that has blighted her past. She has long since abandoned all hope of her own happiness, caring for her nephew and scraping the barest of livings. Once he knows her secret, any gentleman with a reputation to uphold will, she assumes, condemn and avoid her. Can a balmy summer in a beautiful university city, a fish, a wooden acorn and a sudden shower of rain work the magic that will encourage this unlikely pair to face down social convention and find a future in each other's arms? An Utterly Unsuitable Lady is the delightfully witty first book in the Moth Agency Romances series. If you like engaging characters, vivid period settings, and stories based in truth, then you'll adore Lucy Greenhill's sweet tale. Buy An Utterly Unsuitable Lady and find yourself carried away by the tides of love today!

Autor

Lucy Greenhill loves to write stories whose starting point is a real incident or place and can often be found searching archives and libraries. The inspiration for An Utterly Unsuitable Lady was the notorious case in the 1860s of a rich man who fooled an innocent young woman into a fraudulent marriage before abandoning her without a penny. Could a happy life be salvaged from such wreckage? The MOTH agency romances introduce Lucia and Christabel Venables, an independently-minded pair of sisters living in Victorian Cambridge. Christabel runs a hat shop and Lucia is proprietor of the agency which introduces ladies and gentlemen pursuing romance, and generally looks into Matters Of The Heart. There are plenty more Moth Agency romances to come. Lucy also writes Edwardian mysteries under the pen name of Fran Smith. She lives with her husband, dog and chickens on the edge of the fens near Cambridge, England.
