The Duke's Architect (Black Sheep #1)
Mary Kingswood
At eight and twenty, Miss Sophia Merrington is the youngest of four sisters, not one of whom has yet found a husband. When her brother becomes heir to the Duke of Brinshire and moves to the vast country house of Staineybank, Sophia is the only one not happy to be there. What is the point of living in such a grand house when there is no dancing to be had? A chance invitation opens up all sorts of possibilities, but can she seize the opportunity and find herself a husband at long last? Or is she doomed to be an unmarriageable spinster?
The Honourable Simon Payne is estranged from most of his family, with his half-sister, Lady Juliet, his only support. Struggling to make his way as an architect, but finding no success, he’s thrilled to receive an invitation to design an orangery for the Duke of Brinshire’s house. But when he arrives at Staineybank, he’s not expected and there is a rival architect already working on the design. Who has sent him there, and why?
This is a complete story with a happy ever after. A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom. Book 1 of a 6 book series.
