Rules for an Unmarried Lady

<p><strong><em>Witty and well-read best friends Henrietta Harriet and Hero know that real love is rarely as simple as a fairy tale. But with the right partner it can be sweeter—and even more satisfying. . .<br /></em></strong><br />A single woman of means generally does not choose the company of seven rambunctious children over the <em>haut ton</em>. Yet since the tragic loss of her sister and brother-in-law the Honorable Harriet Mayfield has found purpose and pleasure in caring for her orphaned nieces and nephews. If her unorthodox views about how to raise the newly minted Earl of Sedwick and his siblings put her at odds with their strict grandmother well so be it. The children’s uncle Colonel Lord Quinton Burnes however is a far more complicated—and charismatic—problem . . .<br />  <br /> Accustomed to having his slightest word obeyed Quint hardly knows what to make of the bewitching bluestocking who has taken on the role of guardian in his absence. Quint’s mother wants Harriet gone the sooner the better. She has the perfect bride in mind for him—someone not at all like kindhearted loyal Harriet. But if he and Harriet can only withstand meddling and misunderstandings their unconventional attraction might yet come to a delightfully happy ending . . .</p>
