Who knew that love could be fun?

Ruined and abandoned by her betrothed, Lady Juliet has no choice but to take the stagecoach home to her family in Yorkshire. Fortunately, she is protected on the journey by a handsome and amusing self-styled “wastrel”.

Daniel Stewart—together with his enormous, unruly mongrel dog—is reluctantly answering a summons to his grandfather’s deathbed. But instead of the prodigal’s traditional fatted calf, he is presented with the miserly baron’s temper and a parcel of resentful relatives. Juliet faces recrimination and isolation in her own home.

It isn’t surprising that Dan and Juliet seek solace in secret meetings to cheer each other up. Neither expects to fall in love.

But is the unconventional Dan the solution to Juliet’s problems? Or just an added complication? For her powerful father seeks to rehabilitate her reputation through marriage, either to her faithless ex-betrothed or to the man who caused her ruin in the first place. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐



There is a nasty man who has deliberately set out to ruin four innocent young ladies.  They have no idea who or why.
Lady Juliette thought she could count on someone, but he let her down badly.  Now she must find her way home to her family. 
Daniel Stewart has been summoned by his estranged grandfather to his deathbed. He has no intention of playing his grandfather's game.  He is quite happy with his life and his friends, human and canine.  
Our characters will learn who they can and can't count on. 
 It's a very amusing story with lovely characters. It is obviously part of a series that is best read in order,  but each book could be read on it's own.  
Great fun.

Mary Lancaster's first love was historical fiction. Since then she has grown to love coffee, chocolate, red wine and black and white films - simultaneously where possible. She hates housework.

As a direct consequence of the first love, she studied history at St. Andrews University, after which she worked variously as editorial assistant, researcher and librarian. Although she has always written stories for her own entertainment, she began to make serious efforts toward publication in order to distract herself from a job she disliked. She now writes full time at her seaside home in Scotland, which she shares with her husband and three children.
