When he becomes seventh Earl of Danecroft, rakish John Fitzhugh Wyckerly also inherits a crumbling estate and massive debts. Determined to do right, he reclaims his illegitimate daughter Penelope and heads to London in search of a very rich wife.
Abigail Merriweather's farm has been quiet since she lost custody of her four young half-siblings-until a roguish gentleman named Fitz stops for a rest, his rebellious daughter in tow. His etiquette is questionable, his parenting deplorable-so why does Abby delight in his flirtations? And when she seeks a suitor to help her regain the children, why does Fitz keep popping up?

Starred review from July 1, 2010
John Fitzhugh Wyckerly, a Wicked Wyckerly, never wanted to be an earl. As the second son, hes free to spend his time gambling and womanizing. Then the unthinkable happens. Fitzs father and brother die in rapid succession, making Fitz the seventh Earl of Danecroft, and leaving him an estate in ruins and a mountain of debts. To make matters worse, he has to assume care of his illegitimate daughter, Penelope, a cute little hellion who gets them thrown off the mail coach. Theyre left on the farm owned by Abigail Merriweather, who can only regain custody of her beloved younger half-siblings by marrying. Rice (Mystic Warrior, 2009) is a master storyteller as she takes her endearing if roguish hero and spunky, stubborn heroine through all the trials evildoers and Regency society can concoct. A wonderful blend of humor, pathos, adventure, and charm, this page-turner is book one in Rices promising Rebellious Sons series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
