Overview

Her would-be suitors keep dying! Lady Augusta Brenville needs a wealthy husband to save her beloved estate. Yet keeping her inheritance seems impossible when nary a suitor remains standing, nor alive for that matter-until a seasoned captain arrives, daring and intrepid . . . and a tad uncivilized for the lady's liking. For the sake of owning Thornbury Castle, Captain Rolf is willing to marry its rather awkward yet endearing mistress, regardless of her penniless state. First, he must thwart a mysterious assassin with a penchant for poison, fire, and arrows. Can Lady Gus bring herself to relinquish control of her household for the sake of saving it? And must she lose her heart in the process? Neither will matter if Rolf can't keep both himself and his betrothed alive until their wedding day. Enjoy a captivating visit to Georgian England with a charmingly quirky couple and a deadly villain in USA Today's bestselling author Sydney Jane Baily's Presenting Lady Gus.

Reviews

"""She's a gentle, competent but clumsy spinster daughter of an impoverished estate. He's a younger son who made his fortune by being a confidently brilliant naval captain, who now wants his own estate, and a family. They're both of the right age, reasonably attractive, and willing. How could this possibly go wrong? Well, three fianc�es have died suspiciously. He's direct, earthy, and ready to run things. She's a lady, used to making ends meet, and wanting a partner not an overlord . I loved this couple- in a romantic historical mystery that hits all the right notes.""
