Never Marry a Marquess - Regina Scott

. .

Résumé :
Instant marchioness, instant mother, forever love? Shy Ivy Bateman has always felt more comfortable behind the scenes than front and center. She is happiest caring for her family and baking sweet treats. She certainly never expected the wealthy Marquess of Kendall to propose marriage, especially a marriage of convenience. It seems his baby daughter needs a mother, and Ivy cannot deny the attraction of the role, or the attraction she feels for the handsome marquess. Kendall had asked Miss Thorn of the Fortune Employment Agency to find him a particular sort of lady. His heart went to the grave with his first wife. Now, all he cares about is ensuring his frail daughter doesn't follow it. Installing Ivy Bateman as his next marchioness will not disrupt his life or make him question his love for his dead wife. But as he comes to appreciate Ivy's sweet nature, he begins to wonder about their future. When an old enemy strikes at Miss Thorn and all her ladies, a grieving lord and a shy lady must work together to save the day. In doing so, they might just discover that love, and a good cinnamon bun, can heal all wounds. If you like sweet, witty Regency romances, then you'll love this triumphant finale of the Fortune's Brides series by award-winning author Regina Scott. 5 Stars! I loved this book from start to finish! Marriage of convenience stories are a favorite of mine, and this one was done exceptionally well. Britt Reads Fiction Enjoy the romance today.
