An unconventional woman might be the perfect match for a stuffy Englishman in the continuation of this USA Today–bestselling Regency romance series.

The Dowager Lady Worthington isn't quite sure what to make of country-girl Dorothea Stern. As the granddaughter of the Duke of Bristol, Dotty is schooled in the ways and means of the nobility. But her sharp wit and outspoken nature has everyone in a tizzy. Especially their cousin, Dominic, the Marquis of Merton.
Prematurely stuffy, Dom was raised by his cheerless uncle to be wary of a host of things, including innovation, waltzing, and most perilous of all: true love. Still, there's something about Dotty, beyond her beauty, that Dom cannot resist. But the odds are against him if he intends to win her as his bride. Will he choose loyalty to his family—or risk everything for the one woman he believes is his perfect match...

      Quinn’s second Worthington Regency improves on its predecessor (Three Weeks to Wed), retaining the charm and verve and delivering a more satisfying plot. Miss Dorothea “Dotty” Stern, heroine to abandoned animals and people in peril, is glum when it starts to look like she’ll have to miss her long-anticipated social debut with her best friend. When she gets her season after all, hosted by her friend’s family, she must promise her parents to curb her impulse to take in strays. Naturally, she stretches the spirit of her pledge when she meets Dominic Merton, a marquis who’s notorious for his arrogance and heartless political positions. Enthralled by Dotty’s passion, the stuffy and amusingly conflicted Dominic must find a way to woo her without committing the greatest faux pas: falling in love. Amid rescued kittens and thwarted human trafficking circles, Dominic and Dotty’s genuine romance grows in the face of credible obstacles, thrumming with satisfying passion. This is a strong continuation of an appealing series. Agent: Elizabeth Pomada, Larsen-Pomada Literary Agency.

      The second delightful novel in Quinn's The Worthingtons series (after Three Weeks to Wed, 2016) focuses on the stuffy cousin, the Marquis of Merton. After his father died when he was six, Dominic was brought up by a rigid uncle and finds it hard to get along with his Worthington cousins. They sponsor an old friend for the season, Dorothea Stern, and she finds the marquis enchanting. Accustomed to helping everyone from cats to children, Dotty finds Merton to be a supporter who is willing to have his eyes opened about charitable causes. When she tries to save him from a marriage trap, she finds herself betrothed to Dominic, and they grow closer as the wedding date approaches. Quinn offers a refreshing take on historical-romance conventions as the conflicts arise realistically after the couples get together, rather than in a frustrating romantic chase. Merton's character arc is especially strong here, and readers will find plenty of heat to enjoy on the way to the wedding. Grace Burrowes' readers will also appreciate the intelligent commentary on issues of the day.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
