Join Miss May Sheffers, a free-spirited young woman, as her situation goes from bad to worse in Bath, England.
Following the heart...
Considered unmarriageable by many due to her questionable
parentage, May has let her hopes for true love fade and
devoted herself to a life caring for her ailing aunt.
But when May is unable to pay rent on the humble
cottage in which she and her aunt reside, she must
plead her case to the imposing viscount willing to
toss two helpless women in the gutter.
A wounded hero of the Peninsula campaign,
Viscount Radford Evers is known for his harsh bearing, stubborn pride,
and skillful avoidance of wedding vows. But with his family pressuring him to
marry and produce an heir, he has little choice but to begin the search for a bride. To this end, he creates a list detailing the perfect wife. May meets none of the list's criteria, so why does his heart beat madly at the sight of the elegantly shabby miss?
He is sorely tempted to toss his list and all that's right and proper into the fire to marry this most unsuitable lady…
