About The Impossible Ward

Things were awkward, mused Lady Marianne Carstairs, deuced awkward. She was grateful for the unexpected inheritance, of course, but she might have wished that the late Earl of Melford's choice of trustee had been someone other than the handsome and charming Justin, Lord Lunswick. She sighed. Ruefully, she was forced to confess to herself that life on a Yorkshire farm had ill prepared her for the elegant fencing and flirting of the ton. And now Andrew's henwitted scheme for saving Justin from the bewitching Aurelie St. Clair ... Yes, things were very complicated indeed.
