Publication Date: January 5, 2016
Nathaniel Sherringham has returned to Hawcombe Prior a changed man. Gone is the reckless rake who went out on a limb to propose to Diana Makepiece three years ago. Now Nate’s mysterious new wealth has the town’s rumor mill spinning. To stir things up (and get Diana’s attention), Nate boldly announces his plans to marry “any suitable girl” under the age of 25.
Diana, now 27 and still single, is acutely aware of Nate’s return. When her mother suggests a trip to visit a cousin in Bath, Diana leaps at the chance to escape the heartbreak and regret she can’t help but feel in Nate’s presence…and avoid his irritating charade to find a bride.
But for Nate, Diana has always been the one. He might just have to follow her to Bath and once again lay his heart on the line to win her attention—and her heart.

Pride and Prejudice is my favorite Austen novel. Thanks for sharing Carole!
I am a little embarrassed to admit that I have never read a Jane Austen novel. I tried to read Pride and Prejudice a few years ago and it bored me so I took it back to the library.
oh this seems interesting. I like the idea of it having a austen theme. I still need to pick this author up soon though.
This is an author that I would try as well. Thanks for stopping by!
Cute excerpt. I definitely need to incorporate more HR into my reading.
I read some HR but not nearly as much as I used to read. I do enjoy it when I am reading this genre.
Oooh that excerpt has me intrigued 🙂
I like that this book is supposed to be funny. I love some humor in my reading.
