Description:

Miss Harriet Evans can shift cows, rotate crops and breed pigs. But has managing her brother's estate scared off potential suitors? Harriet would love a family of her own but at twenty-four has she lost her chance of happiness? Rather than be a dependent spinster Harriet wants her own farm but her family disagrees and she's despatched to London to secure a suitable husband. Captain Allister Clarens never wanted to be an Earl. Now he has an impressive title, massive debt, starving tenants, unpaid servants and a family to support. But he's a soldier and knows his duty. He goes to London to find a suitable heiress. Friendship blossoms and Harriet agrees to help Allister find a bride. Four exceedingly rich candidates are selected. Thwarted love, shamefully acquired fortunes and appalling relatives dash the hopes of three of the candidates, but Lydia looks promising. Love blooms, but will Allister's sense of duty prevail and rob Harriet of her chance to be the most suitable bride of all?
