Welcome to Litsy!

In this hilarious second installment of a Regency romance series, a single lord is forced to settle down...and when a houseparty brings a happy-go-lucky lady's companion his way, his grumpy heart is unexpectedly warmed. Nine years ago, Lord Guy Harrowby, Viscount Wennington, was publicly humiliated by a failed and reckless romantic gesture. Despite this, his mother clings to the promise he made her then: that she would have a house full of grandchildren by his thirtieth birthday. Still single, embittered, and swiftly approaching thirty, Guy's work is his life. In desperation, his mother blindsides Guy with a weeklong house party at his estate filled with annoying debutantes, all competing to be his wife. After failing as a governess, Lottie Travers is struggling as a lady�s companion. Raised in an all-male household, she�s developed habits that get her dismissed. Even after years of Miss Prentice�s teachings of how to be a lady, she climbs trees better than she embroiders and can�t resist riding horses astride, in breeches. But with the family farm in trouble, and her father now in dire need of her wages, she�s determined to conquer her wildness once and for all. Even with his home full of eligible women, there is only one who catches Guy�s eye�though he tries to deny it. For Lottie, succeeding in her new role proves difficult when the Wennington estate is filled with horses, and a spark ignites between her and the grumpy lord. Will they remain stuck in their ways, or learn that they may just be the perfect match?
