Mistress of Madderlea

Rating:
Summary: Traditional Regency
Review: Mary Nichols is not an author I had come across before that I thought I would try. I was very impressed. The heroine, Sophie Roswell, is a heiress who owns Madderlea. Through a series of accidents to her parents and guardians she now lives with her uncle a younger son who has become a lawer. Sophie cannot be allowed to run Madderlea herself, and using an agent to overlook the property is becoming unsatisfactory. "There is only one sure remedy, You must find a husband" and so to London she must go for the season. Lady Fitzpatrick a mature distant relative is to look after her and her cousin in London. How is Sophie to be sure that the men she meets aren't after her for her money? She switches places with Charlotte for the season.
