The Last Debutante (Secrets of Hadley Green)
Daria Babcock is rapidly in danger of becoming the spinster of Hadley Green. Not only have all of Daria’s friends already found their Mr. Right; most of them are well on the path to motherhood. The only remotely suitable single man in Hadley Green is Lord Horncastle, but as far as Daria is concerned, his perpetual pouting and imbibing negate any husband potential the nobleman may possess. Clearly, if Daria wants a husband, she needs to get out of Hadley Green and back into proper society. So when the opportunity to deliver money to her grandmother in Scotland presents itself, Daria leaps at the chance. The trip to Scotland proves to be quite the adventure, but Daria finds out the excitement is just beginning when she arrives at her grandmother’s cottage in the Scottish Highlands and discovers a wounded Jamie Campbell sleeping in the spare bedroom. Spun off from London’s latest Hadley Green trilogy, The Last Debutante is another successful merger of witty writing and passionate romance that gracefully delivers everything romance readers could want. --John Charles
