Reforming Harriet

By Eileen Putman

Book Overview

Lady Harriet Worthington's passions are strictly culinary. Little does she know that her new business partner, Lord Elias Westwood, and his highly sensual appetites are about to add romantic spice to her life... After weathering one philandering husband, Lady Harriet has no desire to wed again. She is happily independent, having inherited her late husband's share of a West Indies spice company. Lord Westwood, who founded the company, is at his wit's end. Lady Harriet has been selling off her shares to help her neighbors, until he is nearly ruined. He plots to win them back. But Elias's extraordinary gifts of smell and taste - so useful in judging fine spices - prove his Achilles's heel. He cannot resist Lady Harriet's culinary creations, or her feminine charms. When she maneuvers him into masquerading as her fianc for the Season, he never plans on falling in love... About the Love in Disguise series: In these tales of Regency intrigue, nothing is as it seems: A street wench masquerades as a debutante to fulfill a rake's wager; an actress pretends to be a vengeful lord's mistress to catch a killer. A noble war hero disguises himself as a much older man to woo an on-the-shelf spinster. An independent widow forces her disapproving business partner to pretend to be her fianc - and teach her about passion. All are daring masquerades, with love as the prize.

Passions rise and flour and dough fly

A man whose heightened sense of smell has served him well in spice import ventures and made him lover of well-seasoned food. A match made in culinary heaven?Not when the woman is Lady Harriet Worthington, widow of Lord Frederick Worthington (a womanizer to the end), daughter of the Duke of Sidenham (distant and cold); now her own woman and loving it.Not when the man is Lord Elias Westwood, Worthington's partner in a very successful spice import business--a man who wants possession of Lady Worthington's shares in the business, since she has so mismanaged them since Freddy died.Passions rise and flour and dough fly from the first time these two meet. Most definitely a character-driven novel, REFORMING HARRIET allows us to eavesdrop (along with the servants!) on Harriet and Elias as they try to come to a mutually satisfying disposition of the portion of the spice business left in Harriet's care. Eileen Putman breathes life into an intriguing hero and heroine, then sets them free to learn and grow... and love.Kimberly Borrowdale, Under the Covers Book Reviews
