About this ebook

Yes, Virginia, there is a Viscount...

Miss Virginia Underwood cannot resist rescuing a stray. Her latest find turns out to be a surly, reclusive war hero trying to recover from his wounds in peace. He doesn't want her help—and Virginia definitely doesn't want to fall in love. Not when a future with him would mean returning to the the same haut ton who laughed her out of Town during her very first Season.

Theodore O'Hanlon, Viscount Ormondton, sequestered himself far from London to heal in anonymity. For now, he can be himself. As soon as he returns, he's meant to wed the woman his father selected years before. But when Miss Underwood turns his carefully mapped life upside-down, Theo must decide which battles are truly worth fighting for.

    Delightful regency tale!I was completely won over by the rather unusual Miss Virginia Theodore and her cat Duke. A satisfyingly lyrical story spread liberally with a crazy cat, a wounded warrior (Theodore O’Hanlon, Viscount Ormondton) hiding out from his perhaps betrothed, and a mysterious young woman who is totally unexpected in both thoughts and habits. Ice cream and kisses sprinkle the way and if the two lead characters have troubled pasts then so much the better. Healing is a wonderful journey.I smiled a lot and I loved that crazy cat with its so independent nature. Whimsical moments are prompted by the unusual actions of the Duke of Azureford redoubtable butler Swinton.A NetGalley ARC

    What an interesting tale this book proved to be! With an injured Viscount and a woman born to heal the match seems to be made in heaven...or...not? Theodore O’Hanlon, Viscount Ormondton arrives in Christmas to deal with wounds sustained on the battlefield. He has plans to hide out till he can return to society and take the position his father has created for him long ago...a position that includes a woman as wife that he really has no interest in. Little does he know that a black cat named Duke will change his life forever once Duke’s mistress arrives on the scene to collect him. Virginia Underwood has been away from society for almost a decade and lives to help injured animals whether feathered or furry. Meeting Theodore she realizes he will be her next challenge. As the two spend time together she helps him heal not only physically but also emotionally. How the two arrive at their HEA is a pleasure to read and the part Duke plays in their story provides that lighter element that eases their way.Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.4 Stars
