The Brooding Bachelor (The Kerrs of Kelso Book 1)

Description

Guinevere Kerr, Gwen, is down from Scotland for the first time ever, for a Season in London, along with her three sisters and three cousins. She hopes they’ll all do well on the Marriage Mart, with her serving as their spinster chaperone, though she’s only twenty-three herself.

Knowing no one in London, she tries to make the acquaintance of one of their next-door neighbors, dubbed the brooding bachelor, Lord Hugh Lyon. He’s so appallingly rude to Gwen and her youngest sister Igraine, they swear they’ll have nothing more to do with him.

Hugh is mortified by the way he treats the lovely young ladies who have come to visit, and instantly regrets his bad manners. Clawing his way into Gwen’s good books becomes an obsession.

But Gwen’s grim family troubles prevent her from ever considering a future with Hugh. A ghost from Hugh’s own past threatens any chance of him finding happiness. Can Hugh convince Gwen he’s the only man for her, before it’s too late?
