Guy Portias, heir to Eversleigh Manor, has woken up with two problems: he has a wicked hangover, and he seems to have gotten himself engaged. His new fiancée, Richenda Fox, is the gorgeous star of the hottest new TV series in England, but is the enigmatic beauty the right woman for him? To complicate matters, Eversleigh is badly in need of repairs, and the family fortune has run a bit dry. When Guy reluctantly agrees to let his mother run "Country House Weekends" at the manor, they hire Honor McLean, a bewitching single mother, to cater and help them deal with the chaos. Warm and down to earth, Honor is nothing like Guy's cool, career-obsessed fiancée. If Honor's wit and charm have the same effect on others that they seem to have on Guy, she could end up saving Eversleigh on her own--and stealing Guy's heart in the process. With a cast of characters you'll love (and a few you'll love to hate), An Eligible Bacheloris a charming, sexy, and compulsively readable romp through the English countryside. Also available as an eBook From the Trade Paperback edition.
