He’d rather have mice. At least he could get a cat.
Unrepentant for taking over Warinder Hall, vicar’s daughter Jane Playdell stands up to the viscount. Her father, the erstwhile vicar of Follyjohn, died without making provision for her and the orphan children in his care.

Recently jilted by his heiress fiancée, Edward has sworn off women. He’s horrified to find himself attracted to a vicar’s daughter. He’s never met a woman like her.
