About this ebook
In the final entry in this Regency romance series by a New York Times–bestselling author, a family's legacy rests on the love life of their youngest.
When the father gambled away Mannerling, their ancestral home, the Beverley sisters each thought one of them would surely marry the current owner and get back the house. Yet five sisters tried and failed—marrying for love instead of bricks. Now, Lizzie, the sixth and youngest daughter, is the family's final hope of regaining their legacy.
Yet the new owner, the Duke of Severnshire, is far too arrogant for Lizzie's heart. And while the duke has no intentions toward the saucy girl, her curt dismissal of him is perplexing—for no woman has ever refused him! Now, as his lavish house party to select a bride becomes a whirlwind of mismatches and scandal, lovely Lizzie is turning the duke's own thoughts away from a suitable marriage—to the wonders of falling in love!

"A delightful tale...romance fans are in for a treat."— Booklist
