Lady Hartley's Inheritance
Previously published by Robert Hale and Musa Publishing
Clarissa Hartley is distraught when she discovers that her late husband left his entire estate to a son she knows nothing about.
Her godmother's son, Luc Deverill, the Earl of Newbury, suspects fraud. Thrown together during the social whirl of a Regency season in full swing, Luc is increasingly drawn towards Clarissa but she thinks him an idle dissipate and finds little to admire in the ways of high society.
Racing against time to foil those seeking to deceive Clarissa, Luc is horrified when she places herself in the path of danger. At last a woman has dented his impenetrable heart and he rides to her rescue. But has he left it too late to tell her how he feels?

Too many spelling and grammar mistakes
It's a nice enough book and an easy read, but any pleasure was taken away by constantly falling over spelling mistakes, missing or duplicate word and grammatical errors. Please get your editing right!

Delightful romance. Clarissa Hartley stays with her godmother and needs help from Luc Deverill to sort out a problem with her deceased husband's estate. But she is also strongly drawn to Luc, who is known as a rake. They fall in love, Luc saves her inheritance and changes his womanizing ways (also teaching Clarissa in-between the sheets), and he finally convinces her to marry him. I only wished they would have adopted the little 5-year-old girl Mary from Luc's orphanage, because not only did they both especially care for Mary, but she helped rescue Clarissa from her stepson in his attempt to steal the inheritance. Small differences from most regency romance stories that I read: this book didn't have as much witty banter, and it had more intimacy.

I feel like I've read this before, whether I have or it's just derivative I'm not sure.
