Lord Avery's Legacy
Allison Lane
Country Affairs
Penelope Wingrave was extraordinary-from her
flaming red hair to her scheme for raising ostriches.
Alas, she was also on the shelf, too highborn to
marry down, too poor to marry nobility. Her sister,
on the other hand, was being courted by the late
Lord Avery's haughty son-a matter that worried
Penelope mightily. Especially when the speeding
curricle driven by another member of that arrogant
clan landed her in a ditch. Not only did he blame her
for the mishap, he impetuously took her into his
arms!
New trustee Richard Avery had rushed to rural
Devon to keep his cousin from marrying an upstart
Wingrave. Instead he collided with fate-in the form
of Penelope Wingrave. Soon they were sharing a
romance made perilous by a family secret, a lurking
stranger, and a rampaging ostrich... and made
irresistible by a wondrous love.
