The Homecoming (The Daughters of Mannerling Series Book 6)

The final book in the Daughters of Mannerling series follows Lizzie Beverley, the youngest of six sisters, as she becomes her family's last chance to reclaim their ancestral home, Mannerling, which their father gambled away. Her five older sisters each attempted to marry the current owner to restore the family's legacy, but all chose love over the house instead. The new owner, the Duke of Severnshire, is arrogant and unsuitable in Lizzie's eyes. However, her blunt rejection of him intrigues the duke, as no woman has ever refused his attentions before. When he hosts an elaborate house party to select a bride, the event descends into mismatches and scandal. As the gathering unfolds, Lizzie finds herself changing the duke's priorities—drawing him away from seeking a suitable marriage and toward the possibility of genuine love.
