The Besotted Baron

About the book

The last thing on Camden Huxley's mind is to handle the affairs of his family's vast Yorkshire estate, dealing with its quarrelsome tenants, servants, and neighbors. Despite this, Cam decides to leave behind his true passion for trade and journey to Lorne Hall, convincing himself that he is simply fulfilling the obligatory visit expected of a new titleholder.

Upon his arrival, Cam discovers that the situation at the Hall is chaotic, but what truly unsettles him is the persistent attempts at matchmaking directed towards him. Miss Alice Singleton, the granddaughter of the aged estate steward, stands out as a beacon of rationality and practicality. She is not only sweet, kind, and possesses a sharp wit, but she is also the only one who appears disinterested in becoming his baroness. On the other hand, Alice is undeniably attracted to the new baron, yet she has a strict policy of avoiding romantic entanglements and is determined not to make any exceptions, even if she finds herself falling in love this time.

In order to achieve a happy and shared future, Cam and Alice must confront past secrets and newfound betrayals, and ultimately learn to trust in their hearts and in each other. Only by doing so will they stand a chance at finding lasting joy together.
