About this ebook

Schooling the Viscount is a charming, sexy romp through the English countryside. Readers will fall in love with the little town of Puddling-on-the-Wold. I did!” —Vanessa Kelly, USA Today bestselling author

Welcome to Puddling-on-the-Wold, where the sons and daughters of Victorian nobility come for a little rest, recuperation, and “rehab,” in this brand-new series of rebellious romance from Maggie Robinson.


After a harrowing tour of duty abroad, Captain Lord Henry Challoner fought to keep his memories at bay with two of his preferred vices: liquor and ladies. But the gin did more harm than good—as did Henry’s romantic entanglements, since he was supposed to be finding a suitable bride. Next stop: The tiny village of Gloucestershire, where Henry can finally sober up without distraction or temptation. Or so he thinks…

A simple country schoolteacher, Rachel Everett was never meant to cross paths with a gentleman such as Henry. What could such a worldly man ever see in her? As it turns out, everything. Beautiful, fiercely intelligent Rachel is Henry’s dream woman—and wife. Such a match would be scandalous for his family of course, and Rachel has no business meddling with a resident at the famed, rather draconian, Puddling Rehabilitation Foundation. All the better, for two lost souls with nothing to lose—and oh so very much to gain.

Maggie Robinson

Maggie Robinson is a former teacher, library clerk, and mother of four who woke up in the middle of the night absolutely compelled to create the perfect man and use as many adjectives and adverbs as possible doing so. A transplanted New Yorker, she lives with her not-quite-perfect husband in Maine, where the cold winters are ideal for staying indoors and writing.

    Lord Henry Challoner has been sent to the bucolic village of Puddling-on-the-Wold because his father wants him to stop drinking and chasing women after his return from the Boer War. He's on a strict regimen that goes astray when he meets the lovely Rachel Everett who is also the local schoolteacher. Right from the start, Henry sees something in Rachel that he knows will help him deal with the effects of war. He proposes, but she turns him down no matter how charming he is. The resulting chase makes for a charming story. Rachel and Henry are made for each other. The secondary characters come to life under Ms. Robinson's deft pen and add a lot of extra fun to the book. The beautiful Cotswold scenery is the perfect setting for this delightful book.
