For those who love The Gilded Age and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
In 1884, Ames Welby, the Duke of Severton, is desperate. His ancestral home is falling apart, his tenant farmers are starving, and his family name is tainted by a mysterious scandal that keeps people away. With no fortune and no time, he does the unthinkable-marries for money. But Lily Parker, the American heiress he weds in haste, is no pampered socialite. She's practical, passionate, and has a plan to restore Pickering Castle-and the reputation of the five reclusive Welby brothers.
Inspired by her love of matchmaking and her longing for connection, Lily invites four eligible young women to a summer house party, hoping to spark romance and rebuild the family's future. What follows is a whirlwind of mischief, mismatched couples, and unexpected love. But when Lily's belief in true love clashes with Ames's fear of family curses and social ruin, their fragile marriage is put to the ultimate test.
As storms rage and secrets unravel, Ames must decide: will he fight for legacy-or for the woman who's taught him that love is the most daring risk of all?
