Looking forward to more by this author!

While traveling to his estate (Earl) Trevor Caldwell has an accident with Grace's youngest sister and while at the her home he takes one look at Grace's protrait he decides he must meet her. Trevor and Grace have sparks from the beginning. Grace is determined she will never marry so the chase/conflict is on... At times I wanted to scream at the characters - which makes for a great book. Enjoy! If you enjoy this genre check out my summer reading list;Sin and Scandal in England , At the Bride Hunt Ball , Notorious Rake, Innocent Lady and Highland Knight (Signet Eclipse) .

fine Regency romance

As an earl, Trevor Caldwell knows he must marry in order to begat the heir and the spare, but has no interest in taking on the responsibility of a wife or children. Instead the wealthy aristocrat defers finding a spouse. However, Trevor changes his mind about bachelorhood when he meets and falls in love with spunky Lady Grace Ackerly. The fiery woman likes the earl and even concedes she probably loves him, but prefers single status as she plans to remain a spinster. As he does everything in what seems to the increasingly frustrated Trevor futile power to persuade her they are perfect for one another, she thwarts his efforts until he is ready to cede that he has lost at love. Grace realizes what her obstinacy might cost her, but wonders if it too late to accept Trevor's proposal as he has apparently given up trying to make her his wife. The cast especially the lead couple make for a fine Regency romance as Trevor chases after Grace, who seems immune to his charm and not care about his wealth. The secondary characters also feel fully developed as they enhance the enjoyable marriage go round story line. Harriet Klausner

Ms. Clark has taken a tried and true genre and imbued it with new life and breathe. Her writing is not overprosy but gives the reader a vicarious romantic experience thus far unparallelled.
