Why would a most independent young woman want to risk a second chance at love with a maddeningly arrogant nobleman? Clearly pleasing the Earl was out of the question. The Earl of Avescot made it absolutely clear that he considered Vanessa's management of her late husband's estate to be a total disaster. He made it equally evident that he viewed her methods of raising her children to be a sure prescription for ruination. He went on to establish without doubt that he believed her treatment of him as a guest to be the height of outrageous insolence. Vanessa told herself that she should have been overjoyed to have so displeased this man whose departure she so fervently longed for. The only question was: Why wasn't she....?

I think it's a wonderful romance

Vanessa Damery was left with an estate and two children when her husband past away. Her husband's cousin, Lord Alvescot, is co-trustee to the estate. He goes there to learn of her expenses and finds many members of the family living there. He questions her motvies and her spending habits.

It was little slow, maybe if the house guests were a little more interesting maybe the book would have been better? Really didn't care to read about Mrs. Damery prior love life with her late husband but that is because I prefer more innocent books.

Matthews is a talented writer and understand this time period well. Her books were written a while ago but now available on kindle.
