Description

This collection of four novellas continues the series featuring the offspring of the Earl of Bridgethorpe.

One Last Season: When Hugh Lumley and Amelia Young first met, she was less than impressed. He has loved her from afar ever since, even after she married another man.

Captivated by the Wallflower: Adam Lumley, Viscount Knightwick, desperately wants to breed one of his mares to a stallion owned by the Earl of Huntfield. Huntfield sees no reason to improve the stock of his competition and repeatedly turns down whatever sum Knightwick offers. After giving up hope his wallflower daughter will ever find a husband, Lord Huntfield settles on a deal: if Knightwick can turn Lady Susan into a diamond of the Season, Knightwick can breed his mare as he wishes.

Captain Lumley's Angel: Captain Samuel Lumley is proud to follow in his cousin's footsteps and serve king and country in the cavalry. Wounded in the Battle of Waterloo, he is cared for by an angel in the form of his lieutenant's wife. A promise to his dying comrade leaves Sam with the responsibility of seeing to the safety of the lieutenant's widow, Mrs. Ellen Staverton.

Chasing Lord Mystery (A Danby Summons crossover featuring the elder brother of Lady Joanna in The Incorrigible Mr. Lumley) Lord Northcotte is not in the holiday spirit when he joins his sister's family shortly after the brutal death of a friend. Discovering a matchmaking scheme is afoot, he tells them he will never marry Lady Miriam or any other woman. Now if only his heart would listen.
