Letty's Last Love (The Langham Line #2)

He is in desperate need of a wife. She is accepting someone else. Will one summer be enough to change her mind?

James Hammond is in a bind. To fulfill the dictates of his late cousin’s will, he must provide a London season for his new ward, Belinda. An easy thing to do with his fashionable, London-loving wife, if only she hadn’t died right before his cousin. Now, with his new ward to care for, a rascal of a son to keep in check, and a mountain of debt left by his wife, James must find a bride, and fast. But after his third rejection in as many months, James is beginning to lose hope.

Letty Langham does not fall in love. She experienced the emotion once before and it went about as badly as a case of unrequited love can go. Now she has vowed never to give those emotions any rein again. But not wanting to be alone forever, she sees the wisdom in accepting the proposal of the impeccable Lord Bransbury come autumn, after she spends the summer with her cousins near Bath. But after an act of charity goes horribly askew, Letty finds herself in the frequent company of Mr. James Hammond, whose handsome face and easygoing manners are making her rethink keeping her feelings bound.
