by Virginia Heath

'Choosing a wife is not a task that should be undertaken lightly.'

Bennett Montague, sixteenth Duke of Aveley, is seeking the perfect bride. He's narrowed his search to five worthy 'Potentials'...until the arrival of his aunt's companion unravels his carefully laid plans.

Having fought for everything she has, Amelia Mansfield is incensed by Bennett's wife selection methods. But as she's forced to spend time in his company, she begins to see another side to Bennett - and that man is infinitely more tantalising and enticing ...

Bennett Montague is the sixteenth Duke of Aveley and is seeking the perfect bride, his father told him some things about this selection process and he made it into a book, a quite popular book. He has whittled the list of possible brides down to a few candidates, all of whom know and who are trying to be that perfect wife.

Then he meets his aunt's companion, Amelia Mansfield, who thinks his book is terrible and is very willing to tell him so. She is vastly unsuitable but he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her.

I loved her, she dragged herself from nothing to a very good position for someone who started where she did and she is great.

Entertaining and I must read more by this author.
