Golden Days...Famous for her agricultural innovations, Amy, Lady Mowbray has never had a romantical thought in her life. Well, apart from her short-lived crush on London's handsomest man, Lord Pascal, when she was a brainless 14-year-old. She even chose her late husband because he owned the best herd of beef cattle in England!But fate steps in and waltzes this practical widow out of her rustic retreat into the glamour of the London season.

The first man Amy meets at a London Ball is Gervaise Dacre, Earl Pascal. While he might not remember her, she remembers having a crush on him when she was just fourteen. Pascal is in town to find a wealthy wife to help pull his estates out of their disrepair. One look at Amy and all the young debutantes pale in comparison.
He proposes almost immediately knowing that she is wealthy. She turns him down and requires him to work for her affection. The more time he spends with her the more he wants her for her beauty and personality and less for her money. He has always been admired for his looks but Amy sees beyond his looks to the man within.
The characters are complex and wonderfully written and the reader cannot help but pull for this couple to get together. This is a welcome addition to the previous trilogy of Widow stories and I look forward to reading about Sally and Morwenna in the future.
