From USA Today Bestselling Author Bronwen Evans, comes a best friend's brother, enemies to lovers romance. How does Devlin fulfil his vow to his late father, without losing the woman who can save his family from the poor house.... Unlike her stepmother, Lady Dharma Dexter totally believes in love. She knows all Lord Byron's poems by heart and is waiting for the day when the man of her dreams woos her with sonnets. At her stepmother's bachelorette house party, she can't ignore her best friend's brother, the annoying yet stunningly handsome, Warwick Sneddon, the Marquis of Devlin, a man who is there because he desperately needs money. For some reason, he ignores her stepmother and sets his sights on her. Dharma has a very large dowry, but she is not giving it to any man until he wins her heart. She is not marrying for duty, or for a title. She wants love, and she's sure the man known as the Devil doesn't have a heart. Lord Devlin's father left the family estates in ruins, and Devil, as he is known to his friends, needs to marry quickly, and marry well. Only problem is, his father died with the rumor of traitor hanging over his head. No good family will let him near their daughters. With debtor's prison a real possibility, fate throws him a bone in the guise of his younger sister's friend, the very spoilt Lady Dharma. She's beautiful beyond words, clever, self-assured, and would make him a fine Marchioness-except she demands the one thing he refuses to give-his heart..

So she studies the current batch of ton bachelors, those she knows are looking for a wife, and decides to hold a party at her estate. The catch? This party is for men only, and at week’s end, one of her guests will be her fiancé.

So he’s highly amused to realize that the beautiful but eccentric Lady Charlotte has organized a husband hunting party, and he settles in to see what poor cretin is caught. But as he gets to know Charlotte, suddenly the idea of any of these men marrying her stirs the jealous beast. But is he willing to relinquish his bachelor ways to secure the fair lady’s heart?

Book Description
Called “remarkable” (The Wall Street Journal) and “an ambitious, colossal debut novel” (Publishers Weekly), Helen DeWitt’s The Last Samurai is back in print at last Helen DeWitt’s 2000 debut, The Last Samurai, was “destined to become a cult classic” (Miramax). The enterprising publisher sold the rights in twenty countries, so “Why not just, ‘destined to become a classic?’” (Garth Risk Hallberg) And why must cultists tell the uninitiated it has nothing to do with Tom Cruise? Sibylla, an American-at-Oxford turned loose on London, finds herself trapped as a single mother after a misguided one-night stand. High-minded principles of child-rearing work disastrously well. J. S. Mill (taught Greek at three) and Yo Yo Ma (Bach at two) claimed the methods would work with any child; when these succeed with the boy Ludo, he causes havoc at school and is home again in a month. (Is he a prodigy, a genius? Readers looking over Ludo’s shoulder find themselves easily reading Greek and more.) Lacking male role models for a fatherless boy, Sibylla turns to endless replays of Kurosawa’s masterpiece Seven Samurai. But Ludo is obsessed with the one thing he wants and doesn’t know: his father’s name. At eleven, inspired by his own take on the classic film, he sets out on a secret quest for the father he never knew. He’ll be punched, sliced, and threatened with retribution. He may not live to see twelve. Or he may find a real samurai and save a mother who thinks boredom a fate worse than death.

In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I’ve always held fast to these rules passed down from my father . . . until now. Detective John Devlin needs my help to find a killer, but he is haunted by ghosts who shadow his every move. To warn him would be to invite them into my life.
