The Primrose Path — Barbara Metzger

'TWAS MORE THAN JUST A BONE OF CONTENTION BETWEEN NEIGHBORS!

Seventh Viscount Knowle--a war hero, a rising star in politics, a nonpareil in tonnish circles-- has become a laughingstock. His legacy has gone to the dogs--literally. Primrose Cottage has been inherited by a hoard of hairy heirs under the doting care of his late aunt's companion, Miss Angelina Armstead.

Angelina couldn't be happier, even as lady Sophie's toplofty nephew shamelessly tries to reason with, bribe, threaten, and kiss her (twice!), hoping to persuade her to leave. He fails, of course, fearing that he's lost not only his inheritance but his heart as well ....

Hero: Corin Knowlton, Viscount Knowle
Heroine: Miss Angelina Armstead
