Summary
"The man you are, not the man you were."
Lord James Cayton remains buried under a mountain of guilt and regret; he broke the hearts of two women that he never truly loved, one of whom was his wife. Utterly bewitched by the lovely and optimistic Lady Ella Myerston, he catches a glimpse of the kind of man he would like to become; his newfound faith steadily growing and his beautiful little daughter giving him measure of hope. When Ella refuses to accept his surly moods, their acquaintance becomes a tender friendship, until the storm clouds of their past suddenly appear on the horizon, and Cayton is once again recruited to betray his life long friends.
Ella Mysterson refuses to be daunted by the very handsome, but moody Lord Cayton, choosing instead to believe in the man that he is becoming. When the ownership of a much sought after family heirloom is once again the object of diabolical attention, Ella and Cayton go on the offensive; having everything to gain and nothing to lose, except perhaps, those that they love. Fortunately, there is always reason to hope," and hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts . . . "
"A Lady Unrivaled" is beautifully plotted. The author's ability to ingeniously re-introduce familiar characters, while carefully inserting a support cast who add an impressive level of interest and intrigue, is invigorating. The entire "Ladies of the Manor" series has been an absolute pleasure to read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.
