The Bride from the Mill

Eliza Sutcliffe has kept her father's mill books since she was fourteen, and she knows a bad bargain when she sees one. So when the Duke of Ravensworth offers marriage to settle a two-thousand-pound debt, she agrees — on the condition that the debt is cancelled and she keeps her ledgers. Henry Vaughan never wanted the dukedom, the estate, or the mortgage his father hid in a drawer. He certainly never wanted a bride who arrives with a column of figures and a very direct stare. Their marriage begins as arithmetic. But between a suspicious steward, a burning mill and a stack of accounts that will not add up, the Duke of Ravensworth discovers that the most valuable thing on his estate is the woman he married for money. A warm, witty Regency romance of ledgers, loyalty and learning to be a partner.
