Synopsis
[Read by Lindy Nettleton]
Lord Guy Carlton, late of His Majesty's regiment and weary from the war in France, has only wine, women, and song in mind when he rents Number 67 Clarges Street for the season. He certainly has no desire for a serious attachment-- and never marriage! Then his merry eyes spot the lovely but very proper Miss Esther Jones. But what will be her fate if she falls in love with the notorious Lord Guy? Though Esther's business acumen has made her one of the richest women in England, her innocence could make her a victim of the wild ways of the ton-- unless the downstairs staff at Clarges Street devise a campaign to reform the rake who is laying siege to her heart.

Born in Scotland, she now divides her time between Paris and the English Cotswolds.
From Publishers Weekly
The fourth volume in Chesney's Regency romance series (A House for the Season pits the libertine renters of the seasonal house on Clarges Street against a beautiful but moralistic spinster in a nearby residence. Followers of the series are acquainted with the colorful retainers, led by the butler Rainbird, who constitute the below-stairs "family," and who cope with the antics of their ever-changing employers. This time, rich, womanizing Lord Guy Carlton and his buddy, bent on erasing memories of their experiences in the Napoleonic wars, throw wild parties in the house. The butler disapproves but sees an opportunity for "a good woman to reform a rake" by bringing together the dissipating lord and Miss Esther Jones, a prim beauty who keeps an open Bible on display in her forbidding parlor. Predictably, the reformer's role is reversed; Esther succumbs to the now erstwhile rake, as Chesney once again adroitly manipulates the floating upstairs population that keeps the downstairs on its toes.
