Summary

NYT and USA Today best-selling author! Nominated for the prestigious romance Rita award!

John Fitzhugh Wyckerly has been the spare heir all his life, supporting himself with gambling and charm. The news that he's inherited the bankrupt title of earl of Danecroft shatters his indolent world. Even penniless, he's always paid his debts, but now the estate's creditors are closing in. He can fake his death and run for cover or accept overwhelming responsibility and find a rich wife - one who will also accept his illegitimate terror of a daughter.

On his way to find an heiress, he meets Abigail Merriweather, who is neither rich nor aristocratic, but she can tame The Terror and stomp cockroaches. Unfortunately she needs a wealthy, powerful man who will fight her father's executor and retrieve her four half siblings. When an unexpected inheritance falls into Abby's lap, she sets out for London to seek a lawyer.

Can Fitz charm his practical Abby into trusting him to save her siblings when it's doubtful that he can even save himself? And can Abby surrender reason and logic for the folly of love offered by a man who can have any woman he wants but insists he wants only her?

Critic reviews

"Rice is a master storyteller. A wonderful blend of humor, pathos, adventure, and charm, this page-turner is book one in Rice's promising Rebellious Sons series." (Shelley Mosley, Booklist)

Bits of USA, upper class then rural. And too many mispronounced words. I gave up.

Narrator's accents wander all over

I enjoyed the story but the narration really is patchy. I did just end up laughing at it. Quite a few glaring americanisms for a story set in regency England but they were fairly easy to ignore or laugh off too. Maybe not for you if you wouldn’t be able to though

Fun story. Dubious narration

Everyone was v likeable, and the heroes had believable chemistry. Will def check out more from this author. The narrator was pretty good but without doing different voices, though she did diff accents, it lacked a certain something
