Look Before You Leap: A Novel | Virginia Heath
1 post | 1 read
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 ladys companion. Raised in an all-male household, shes developed habits that get her dismissed. Even after years of Miss Prentices teachings of how to be a lady, she climbs trees better than she embroiders and cant resist riding horses astride, in breeches. But with the family farm in trouble, and her father now in dire need of her wages, shes determined to conquer her wildness once and for all. Even with his home full of eligible women, there is only one who catches Guys eyethough 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?
