1908

Adventure, American Literature, Novels, Romance

What happens when death, inheritance, and love collide in the most inconvenient way possible? Taswell Skaggs has no sooner plummeted into a volcano on the remote island of Japat than his lawyers begin unpacking his deliciously diabolical will. His fortune goes to two people: his American business partner and his granddaughter. The catch: they must marry each other within a year, or the money goes to distant relatives they've never met. There's just one problem. Robert Browne is a newlywed, and his bride is very much alive. Meanwhile, the granddaughter has set her sights on British aristocracy, not some American businessman. As the clock ticks and lawyers scramble, both potential heirs find themselves trapped between love, duty, and an enormous fortune. McCutcheon crafts a sparkling Edwardian comedy of errors where transatlantic expectations crash into romantic reality - a delightful confection of romantic entanglements and inheritance shenanigans, perfect for readers who enjoy their humor genteel and their happy endings earned.
