Douglas

About this book

Douglas Allen, Viscount Amery, hates having arrived to his title without knowing how to manage his properties. Guinevere Hollister is a distant family connection raising her daughter in rural obscurity while stewarding the estate. Douglas reluctantly puts himself in Gwen's hands for lessons in land husbandry and discovers beneath her prickly exterior a woman of passion and honor. Yet despite the closeness they find, she will not marry him. In Douglas's eyes, Gwen deserves to make her own choices, and he will take on family, a meddling duke, and Gwen's own lonely, stubborn heart to ensure his lady's happiness.
