His inheritance included three crumbling country estates, one tumble--down London townhouse, and a coach full of debts. His one hope for coming up with cash is to fulfill an outrageous and seemingly impossible condition in an old aunt's will. He must teach Lord Nightingale to sing. A LADY OF SONG...

All Edward Finlay, Marquess of Bradford, wants is peace and quiet. Renting a small country estate seems the perfect answer. Here he can nurse his beloved strawberry roan Nod back to health and start his search for his missing twin brother. These best laid plans, however, do not take into account the assorted personages about to cross his path. First comes the little girl Delight, along with her dog and the parrot known as Lord Nightingale. And it's love at first sight for the green-winged macaw, if not for the marquess as well. But what really stirs Bradford's wary heart is Delight's beloved Eugenia, a spinster lady whose gentle spirit is touched by the tragedy she sees in the marquess'eye. less
