When her childhood friend, Tristan, wagers he can find her the perfect husband, she hopes the challenge will coax him to forgo his devil-may-care lifestyle. Meanwhile, Leticia throws herself into forming her charity school but meets opposition—even from the people she’s helping.
Guilt-ridden that his past mistakes robbed Leticia of true love, Tristan vows to set it right, but match-making has its pitfalls for a repentant scoundrel. When he finds two ‘perfect’ gentlemen to court her, he discovers his own deep feelings for the lady.
Though Tristan seems to reform, Leticia doesn’t dare risk heartbreak with a notorious rake. When opposition for the school takes a deadly turn, can Tristan protect her from a madman bent on destroying their dreams and their lives?

This was a delightful story.
Still feeling the effects of losing the man she loved almost all her life,
Richard, to Elizabeth who later became a good friend and partner in organizing
a school for orphan girls, Leticia determines to remain a spinster. Richard’s
brother, Tristan, who has lived a life typical of many of the well-to-do in the
hedonistic Regency era, wagers he will find her a husband that meets her high standards before Christmas. She
agrees to his efforts, mainly to encourage him to seek the company of a more
responsible circle of associates.
The
author does a great job of making the characters believable as they make their
choices, face their challenges, and suffer the consequences of poor decisions. As
Tristan seeks the perfect husband for Leticia, he is prompted to make change in
himself. Soon there is a love triangle going as men court Leticia, and decisions are made regarding what really matters. The school Leticia and
Elizabeth formed is threatened by those who resist change and do not favor
allowing the poor to become educated so they may improve their chances of better
supporting themselves. In some respects, this is a story of gaining
self-awareness and redemption. There is enough action and suspense to keep the
story interesting to the end.
The
romance elements are sweet and the book has a satisfying ending. I can
recommend it to those who love to read historical romance.
