At Last Comes Love by Mary Balogh

3.0

Margaret Huxtable, the oldest of the Huxtable siblings, is, at thirty, unmarried. But she's run into her old flame, the man she gave up in order to care for her siblings. He went off to war, promising to love only her, but marrying a Spanish woman. Now he's back, looking at her with pity, so she invents a fiance. But the man that has twice offered for her in the past is now engaged to someone else. What is she to do?
Duncan Pennethorne, Earl of Sheringford, kicked up quite the scandal when he absconded with his fiancee's sister-in-law. Now he's back and has fifteen days to marry in order to gain his inheritance. He has a son to support and his servants so he's in somewhat of a fix.
He needs to get married, she needs to get married... it works out perfectly. Or... maybe not. The course of true love never did run smooth and Duncan and Meg have their own hurdles to get over.
