A Madcap Arrangement

About the book

She was originally intended to be his lure, not to capture his affections.

Richard Kendall, the Marquess of Wilton, is determined to seek out the scoundrel responsible for ruining his sister's life. After tracking down the elusive Mr. Smith to a quiet village, Richard instead encounters Miss Theodosia Smith, a spirited young woman who claims no knowledge of the mysterious relation. Unconvinced, Richard devises a daring scheme: he will bring her to London as his sister's companion in hopes of drawing Mr. Smith out of hiding.

Theodosia finds Lord Wilton to be haughty, domineering, and inexplicably handsome. Despite the heavy burden of managing her late father's estate, the opportunity to experience London proves too irresistible to pass up, even if it means enduring his constant suspicion. As their reluctant partnership deepens, Theodosia glimpses a man worn down by duty, while Richard discovers a woman of surprising strength and capability.

However, Richard's unwavering loyalty to his family leaves little room for trust - or for love. When long-buried secrets come to light, he must weigh the consequences of protecting his family's reputation against breaking Theodosia's heart. For this time, the stakes are higher than just scandal... they involve the only woman who has the power to unlock his guarded heart.

A Madcap Arrangement, the fourth book in Laura Beers' Courting the Unconventional series, continues the delightful saga. This Regency-era romance is light-hearted, wholesome, and free of explicit content. Each book in the series possesses its own Happily-Ever-After and is best enjoyed when read in sequence.
