The Laird’s Etiquette School for Hopeless Heiresses
By Margaret Ellington
Length3h 12m
About this audiobook
Miss Amabel Harcourt has a trunk full of etiquette books, two grey gowns and one golden rule: a lady never climbs out of a window. Then the door knocker of Castle Inchcraig comes off in her hand – and she meets her new employer in his bath. Ludovic Fairbairn was a fisherman’s son until he inherited a crumbling castle, a crushing mortgage and a peacock that hates hats. To save Inchcraig he has opened a school for the five young ladies no school in England will take: a boxer, a card sharp, an amateur surgeon, a chemist with a taste for fireworks and a romantic who plans elopements for fun. In twenty-one days the debt falls due, and a distinguished patron arrives from London to inspect them all. Amabel must turn five hoydens into ladies, keep a laird with a ladder at a proper distance, and guard the secret that cost her everything. Because the patron is a man from her past. And he knows exactly why Miss Harcourt left London.
