In the swoon-worthy finale of her Love on Holiday series, Christy Carlyle takes readers to the breathtaking coast of Ireland where a pretty, young countessâs secretary agrees to impersonate her mistress to help a duke appease his fortune-hunting family...until he falls for her instead.
âSimply delightful!â âJulia Quinn
Miss Evelyn Graves has never had a holiday. She is much too busy as the personal secretary to the Countess of Waverly. But the Duke of Ballymore Castle in Connemara, Ireland, has invited the countess to visitâand as the countess cannot travel, she has insisted Evelyn go in her stead. Except when Evie arrives, everyone mistakes her for the countessâand itâs clear the family who owns crumbling Ballymore were hoping to match the widowed countess with Alexander Pierpont, Duke of Rennick. Though Alex knows the truth of Evieâs identity, he has an unusual request. Heâll happily show her hospitality if sheâll agree to let others think sheâs the countess during her visit.
Thereâs just one problem: as time runs out on their arrangement and Alex increasingly fears he must in fact marry an heiress to save his familyâs fortunes, he finds that his heart now belongs to Miss Evie GravesâŚand he canât bring himself to let her go.
