- With "a memorable cast of heartwarming characters," this regency from a New York Times bestseller features a bride seeking to escape an arranged marriage (Publishers Weekly). Life is finally looking up for the eccentric owners of London's Poor Relation hotel. The Prince of Wales's coat of arms gleams over the entrance. All but one of the rooms are filled by the open-handed Prince Hugo and his entourage. The owners have taken on a popular actor as a new partner. Finally, these once-impoverished aristocrats have reached a position comfortable enough to allow them to consider offers to buy the hotel. But their hard-earned success stands in stark contrast to the plight of their latest guest, Lady Jane Fremney. The slight, beautiful daughter of the Earl of Durby has been cast out of her family for refusing to marry the man her father has chosen. Lonely and bankrupt, Lady Jane has decided to commit suicide. But when hotelier Miss Tonks uncovers her plans, the entire staff tries to rescue Lady Jane by finding her a suitable husband-fast! Fortunately, these lovable hoteliers have a knack for matchmaking . . . "[M.C. Beaton] injects just the right elements of suspense, romance, and outrageous humor into this smashing Regency." -Booklist
