An uncommon courtship

Adelaide Bell really wasn't trying to catch a husband. She was simply hunting for mushrooms. When, however, she finds herself stuck overnight in the ruins of the old stone keep on the Riverton estate with Trent Hawthorne, the Duke of Riverton's younger brother, she realizes that propriety dictates that the two of them get married. Trent Hawthorne thought he had years before he would have to settle down, but now, less than a month after he first met Adelaide, he finds himself in London, introducing his new wife to his unconventional household. Hoping that it will help the two of them ease into their new life together, Trent suggests to Adelaide that he court her in London, never expecting that, while the two of them get to know one another better, he would actually fall in love with his wife. The latest, superb addition to Hunter's (An Elegant Façade, 2016) Hawthorne House series will delight fans of sweet, inspirational Regency romances with its compelling characters and flawlessly crafted setting.--Charles, John Copyright 2017 Booklist
