Lydia has decided that the best course of action is to save her long time pen pal, the Earl of Strathrannoch, from his financial woes is to offer him a marriage of convenience. However, when she shows up at his castle, she quickly realizes that her pen pal is Davis, the younger brother of Arthur, the actual Earl of Strathrannoch, and Davis is missing. Lydia and Arthur embark on a quest to find Davis and prevent him from committing a crime before it's too late.

I loved this sequel just as much as I loved Ne'er Duke Well. I loved Lydia and Arthur and the way their relationship developed despite their insecurities about themselves. There were so many wonderful side characters, and I would have happily read even more. I really enjoyed that the epilogue was told entirely through letters.

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Griffin for an early copy.
