Five years ago Squire Oscar Cavendish made a mistake that cost him everything he held dear, including the woman he intended to marry. Now he is guardian of six orphaned boys who are depending on him to provide them with a stable home. The problem, his ancestral dwelling has fallen into disrepair during his absence, resulting in an accident that nearly costs one of his children their lives.

Lady Madeline Armburst is firmly on the shelf after her broken engagement five years previous to the local Squire and at the monetary mercy of her sister. With mounting debts and no means of financial support, Madeline opens a school for educating young ladies on the ways of society. But her sister’s unexpected return with her new husband forces Madeline to seek an alternate place to house her charges.

 Both Oscar and Madeline ask the local Marchioness for the use of an empty dower house she has on her estate. With only one home, but two worthy candidates, the lady declares a contest is the only way to determine who shall have its use. Mischief and mayhem ensue as twelve children, and one cunning Marchioness, scheme to reunite these ill-fated lovers once and for all.

Weddings can make a girl a little crazy…

Which is probably why Marcee Robbens found herself in the arms of a sexy stranger before the bouquet was even tossed at her best friend’s wedding. And after a night of knee-weakening kisses in handsome Sam McKelvey’s arms, even happily single Marcee is humming the wedding march. So when the sun comes up and Sam hits the road, the usually touch-as-nails beauty finds herself nursing a tender heart…

Sam’s not the kind of guy who would have a super-hot hook-up with a woman he barely knows. But something had him mesmerized—enough for this usually sensible single dad to abandon his responsibilities for one unforgettable night. But Sam never thought his one night stand would turn up as his new next-door neighbor. Or that once he glimpsed the soft side of this captivating woman, he’d find himself falling in love…
