Lord Humphrey (Sons of the Marquess Book 2)

A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom.

Lord Humphrey Marford has a way with cards, dice and gambling of all forms. He’d love to start his own gaming house, but that takes a lot of money, far more than he or his brothers can come up with. His only solution is to marry an heiress, and he can’t be too choosy. Miss Hortensia Blythe seems perfect - pretty, charming and very, very rich, she’s just home from India where her father made a fortune in the East India Company, and left her every penny of it. But even as he courts the ladylike but rather dull Miss Blythe, Humphrey is drawn to her companion, who isn’t nearly so ladylike, but isn’t the least bit dull. Unfortunately, she isn’t rich, either. Whatever is he to do?
