DEBUT Cora, Lady Dane, recently widowed and the mother of two young children, has a serious problem. Her husband’s will gives her spiteful and plotting in-laws power to seize her children. The only solution seems to be a fake engagement to the one man who owes her some allegiance, the ne’er-do-well Nathaniel Travers. Nate has worries of his own. His older brother, the Earl of Fordham, is determined to cut off all funds until Nate comes up to scratch as his presumptive heir. Cora and Nate agree to a fake engagement to fool all parties, but Nate does not count on the effect two children in dire need of him will have on his heart, much less his growing feelings for Cora, who is giving her all to save her family. Langston’s debut weaves an emotional, heartening story that is as much about Nate coming into his own as it is about the love affair that blossoms between the couple, a love that creates family, enmeshing a wide circle in its embrace.
VERDICT Wonderfully constructed from start to finish, with high notes of grace and humor, Langston has written a novel that romance fans will treasure.
