The moment John, Lord Hascot, encounters a young woman sheltering in his abandoned stable, his future is sealed. To prevent scandal—and protect Lady Amelia Jacoby from her parents' ire—he must propose. John's ability to trust vanished when his former love married his twin brother. Yet he offers Amelia everything she could want—except affection.
Amelia sees John's true nature shine through when he cares for his horses. But the brooding aristocrat seems determined to keep her at arm's length. Little by little Amelia will turn Hollyoak Farm into a home, but can she turn a marriage of convenience into a joyful union?

Sick of the London social scene and badly betrayed two years earlier by people he once loved, horse breeder John, Lord Hascot, now lives a solitary life at Hollyoak Farm, with no plans to wed. He finds Lady Amelia Jacoby asleep in an old, derelict stable, and when a storm keeps them there until morning, marriage is their only option. Although their single common interest is their love of horses, they both want to make the marriage work--if they can keep outside interferences and selfish schemes from getting in the way. VERDICT A heroine determined to be a good wife, a hero who must learn to trust again, and a marvelous supporting cast (an outspoken, meddling maid and a malicious, widowed sister-in-law are especially well drawn) make this romantic tale a delightful diversion that should please inspirational fans and Regency purists alike. Scott ("The Wife Campaign") lives in Kennewick, WA.Copyright 2014 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
