Overview: A man in possession of £12,000 a year and his own teeth is not to be sneered at.
After five failed London Seasons, Charlotte Winford is past being picky. She has enraptured a gouty squire with a pig-farming empire. Admittedly, he is no Adonis and has a horror of educated women, but it’s not raining suitors in the ballrooms of 1813.
Only duty would induce war-hardened Jasper Alverstone to attend an Almack’s ball. The most hunted matrimonial prize in England, he is not above skulking in dark corners to avoid ambitious mamas. Unfortunately, he is now head of his illustrious family and must honor his father’s will, even if it means marrying an insufferable heiress who loathes him.
No sooner has that lady thrown his dance offer in his face when he overhears some sapskull making the world’s worst marriage proposal. Nearly flattened by its fleeing recipient, Jasper is stunned to recognize a country damsel he saved from ruin seven years ago. His life was never the same again.With old scores to settle, Jasper and Charlotte form an uneasy alliance that sets the ton aghast. A demoralized wallflower has an obvious agenda, but what can a powerful marquess want with a Shropshire nobody?Alverstone is a sweeping Regency-set saga of two families bound by love and war.
