Miss Desirable
Miss Catherine Fairchild spent much of her life haring about the globe with her diplomat parents, though she grasped at a young age that as a legitimate by-blow, her social standing among Polite Society would be marginal at best. Now she's lost both parents and is settled back in London, where she learns that not only is she an heiress, but that the family title can be preserved through the female line.
Miss Dubious has become Miss Desirable, though Catherine has no plans to marry--or so she claims. Even if she were to admit to some loneliness, the last place she'd turn for companionship would be one of Mayfair's fawning fortune hunters. The one person she can trust to treat her honestly is Monsieur Xavier Fournier, a plainspoken émigré who also has no intention of putting his foot in parson's mousetrap... Or so he claims.

Reviews
Burrowes’ writings now seem to be an exercise in asides and explicit character development that induces unshakable ennui. I finish books that I start, whether or not I find them enjoyable, and getting through this morass of drudgery ought to count as penance for something.

……Then he said, then she said, then he did, then she did…. Lot of boring detail without adding to the story. Blah blah. No excitement whatsoever
By Kebello
As always, a pure delight to read, this time with a very unexpected hero and untraditional heroine.

Mourning and off balance after the death of her mother, Catherine Fairchild lives a quiet life, away from a society which treated her cruelly due to her irregular origins. A serious error in judgement as a young woman complicates her life and exposes her to a threat of blackmail. Yet when she unexpectedly becomes an heiress, the fortune hunters begin to notice her. A chance meeting with French émigré wine merchant, Xavier Fournier, finds Catherine enjoying an honest, honorable relationship for the first time in her life. However, neither is interested in marriage. Or are they? As is always the case, Ms. Burrowes writes intriguing, well rounded characters who converse in dialog appropriate to the time period, and behave with morals and customs suited to the period. She also weaves in interactions with family members who we have met in previous books. While each book is a standalone story, I highly recommend reading the entire series as they are all wonderful! This book was provided by the author without any requirement for a review, positive or otherwise. All opinions are 100% my own.
