Since March Lawson's parents died eight years ago, she has struggled to raise her siblings on a meager allowance. Their previous guardian neglected the family to the point of almost starvation. They have a new guardian, the Marquess of McAlpin, and he has not responded to her requests for more funds.
March has had to take matters into her own hands and remove money from her own trust by forging the Marquess's name. When McCalpin finds about the bold embezzling, he confronts March and finds out about the family's situation.
McCalpin insists on bringing the family to London and giving March's sisters the Season March missed. Slowly, McCalpin falls for March. When additional monies are embezzled, the culprit makes it look like it was March that did it. Can McCalpin trust his fiancee or will March go to America to make a fresh start?
This book was quite the emotional roller coaster. How March and her siblings survived with the neglect of their guardians was amazing. March was a strong young woman to support her family. McCalpin is sort of a tortured hero because of his disability with numbers. He is so ashamed that he does not want to fully trust March. The characters in this book, from March and McCalpin to their families were great. This was a book with a great supporting cast.
I received a complimentary ARC from NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you!
