      Synopsis

      Lady Thea knows what she wants in life. Desiring to stay with her widowed father, she's set her cap on a local farmer's son.

      When "Hart," the Marquis of Hartingfield, arrives on the scene, he sends her wits reeling and her senses tumbling. Their meddling fathers hope for a suitable marriage. It's up to Hart to convince Thea that their union will be a perfect love match.

      But if Thea was wrong about her feelings for the farmer's son, can she trust her growing attraction to Hart? She and her pet pig, Uncle Egbert, lead Hart on a merry chase through the English countryside and glittering London, setting tonnish heads abuzz with the question: Will Hart succeed in capturing her heart?

      Annotation

      Lady Thea must rethink her plans when Lord Hartingfield arrives on the scene in this Regency England romp featuring a madcap cast of secondary characters including an adorable pig named Egbert.
