Lord Dearborn's Destiny: 3 (Hiatt Regency Classics)

Venus make her fair Though not a superstitious man Lord Dearborn humors his mother by going to her fortuneteller who informs him that he will meet his Destiny-a beautiful blonde-this very Season. He scoffs until he meets Miss Rosalind Winston-Fitts an absolute vision of blonde loveliness. Entranced he believes the fortuneteller may have been right after all and pursues the new beauty with an eye to making her his wife. To be sure Miss Rosalind is not as witty or lively as her small dark cousin Miss Elinor ODay but Dearborns tastes have always run to statuesque blondes. Besides who is he to question Destiny?Perfect but unattainable Ellie ODay lives on sufferance in her aunt and uncles household but she is truly fond of her cousin Rosalind. So surely it is the height of disloyalty to find herself so strongly attracted to Lord Dearborn Rosalinds most eligible suitor! Still Ellie cannot deny the thrill she feels when she dances with the Earl...nor when she trades quips with him and bests him at cards. Since her life would be a misery were she to stay on as Rosalinds companion after her inevitable marriage to Lord Dearborn Ellie would be much better off to instead immure herself in Ireland on her grandfathers estate. If only the call of love were not so insistent... Book 3 of Brenda Hiatts bestselling Hiatt Regency Classicscollection.
