Olivia dreams of having her father’s music played in the Theatre Royale, a dream she almost ready to see be achieved. But first, she must help her cousin Deborah with her predicament of bringing one Lord Nicholas Blair to heel and do the right thing and marry her. Lord Blair did ruin Deborah after all.
Lord Blair is surprised when he receives a letter from Olivia Mackenzie in regards to marrying her cousin Deborah that he ruined. He is determined to get to the bottom of the accusation, especially as he has not even seen Deborah for two years and never once touched her.
When Nicholas turns up at Olivia’s fathers shop he is surprised to see her, the woman who has invaded his thoughts since she kissed him at his mother’s garden party. He is even more surprised when he learns that it was Olivia that wrote him the letter concerning Deborah. Nicholas insists he is not the father of Deborah’s unborn child and that he will prove it.

Prepare to swoon for the dashing Nicholas!
Nicholas runs into Olivia in his mother’s garden at just the exact moment that she needs to prove a point, yet he’s the one who leaves her breathless! “A true man kisses the woman he’s interested in— precisely like that.” Cue all the swoons! Yet they don’t know each other’s identities, but when they do – sparks fly like fireworks!
Misunderstandings, scandals, and beautiful music combine with beautifully-written characters to give us a memorable love story that puts a new spin on who outranks whom. This is a wonderful, fun romance that is easy to recommend. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Olivia is not looking for a husband, all she wants is to produce her father’s music on the stage and get them out of debt. After a serious carriage accident that killed her mother, her father’s suffered a brain injury and needs full time care. Nicholas appears on the scene and later an attachment starts but Olivia has her priorities and now marriage is not one of them. There is a lot going on in this story including the unwanted attention of Lord Randall, a pregnant cousin and a grandfather who disowned her mother when she married Olivia’s father. It is a great story of a woman who is trying to bring her fathers music to life in a time when women stayed in the background and the romance is a great addition to the story. I would recommend this as a good read.
