The Heiress's Homecoming (Love Inspired Historical)
Marriage would solve all of Samantha Everard’s problems. If she gets married before her twenty-fifth birthday, which is just a few weeks away, she will complete all of the stipulations in her father’s will and inherit Dallsten Manor. It isn’t as if Samantha doesn’t have a willing suitor, either. Jamie Wentworth, her childhood friend and neighbor, would be thrilled to have Samantha accept his marriage proposal, but she sincerely believes that rushing into marriage, even with a good friend like Jamie, would be a mistake. William Wentworth, Jamie’s father, has his doubts about Samantha. Especially since, several years earlier, William’s brother courted her before mysteriously dying after a duel fought over her honor. Now William is determined to discover what secrets Samantha might be hiding without becoming the latest Wentworth male to fall for her charms. In this intriguing addition to her Everard Legacy series, Scott deftly unites a winning cast of characters with an impeccably researched Regency setting, and the sweetly romantic tone of the book makes it a first-rate choice for both Regency readers and fans of historical-inspirational romances alike. --John Charles
