Miss Harriet Evans can shift cows, rotate crops and breed pigs. But has managing her brother's estate scared off potential suitors? Harriet would love a family of her own but at twenty-four has she lost her chance of happiness? Rather than be a dependent spinster Harriet wants her own farm but her family disagrees and she's despatched to London to secure a suitable husband. Captain Allister Clarens never wanted to be an Earl. Now he has an impressive title, massive debt, starving tenants, unpaid servants and a family to support. But he's a soldier and knows his duty. He goes to London to find a suitable heiress. Friendship blossoms and Harriet agrees to help Allister find a bride. Four exceedingly rich candidates are selected. Thwarted love, shamefully acquired fortunes and appalling relatives dash the hopes of three of the candidates, but Lydia looks promising. Love blooms, but will Allister's sense of duty prevail and rob Harriet of her chance to be the most suitable bride of all?

Autorenporträt
I was born in England and always loved history and the beautiful English countryside. Moving to South Australia as a teenager, I grew to love the desert and magnificent wildflowers. Painting has been a lifelong passion. The roses on the front cover of A Suitable Heir came from one of my paintings. My career as a Social Worker and Behavioural Therapist allowed me the priviledge of helping people with all sorts of problems. Listening, empathy and problem solving were well-honed skills underlined with the principals of social justice, equality and feminism. Combining my love of history, observations as an artist and my insights into how people tick, led to my writing career. As a fan of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, I was inspired to write my novels in the Regency Era. A time of transformation for women in society, high principals and heady romance. I am a member of the Romance Writers of Australia, Australian Society of Authors, Create/Write critique group and Indie Scriptorium, a Self Publishing Collective A Suitable Heir was short listed in the RWA Emerald Competition for aspiring writers in 2021. My first novel A Suitable Bride (to be released later this year) was also short listed in 2022. I have a story called the The Houdini Lollipop to be released in the RWA Sweet Treats Anthology in August 2023
