AN Inconvenient Heir (Signet Regency Romance)
Delia Barrington is placed in an untenable position for a single woman in Regency England: she is the key witness to the death of a friend and must return his infant son to a family that is unaware of his existence. Major Mitchell Holcomb comes to West Sussex to sort out the mess. He believes that she is a fraud, and Delia believes that the major could have murdered her friend so that he can inherit the title and the fortune. She conceals her identity by posing as a gypsy, and the two are thrown into one misadventure after another with ominous, if bungling, henchmen on their trail. Delia comes to rely on the major and realizes that he could not possibly want to hurt her young charge, and he discovers her disguise and realizes that she is the woman he is seeking and the woman who has captured his heart. A wonderfully done, gentle romance filled with excitement and interesting characters guaranteed to warm the reader's heart.Patty EngelmannCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
