Roseanna and the Aristocrat Physician
(2026)(The third book in the Wild Marchmonts series)
A novel by Alicia Cameron
The much-awaited third volume of the popular Wild Marchmonts series .
Both the Wild Marchmont family and the Royal Marchmont family are off to London. The earl and countess (Royals) are secretly hoping for their relatives, the unsophisticated Wilds to falter at social events. But Lady Eleanor (the matriarch of the Wilds) has more in her plans than they think. The earl also has plans to foil Lady Eleanor's surety -- he wants to pick off the feeblest of the Wilds, Roseanna.
Roseanna, the eldest of the Wild Marchmont sisters is certainly the least wild of all. For Roseanna is beautiful and compassionate also joyous around her family. But she is, in everyone's opinion, too anxious to please. Going to London with her sister Phoebe for her first London Season has everyone a little worried. She expects great things, but is too timid in public.
The Honourable Joshua Sackville is the son of a marquis, but has displeased his father by becoming a physician. Worse still, he works with the poor. He has become rather testy as a result. He dances with Roseanna at a ball his father insists he attend, and is annoyed by her timidity. This leads to him saying an honest but impolite sentence to her. He apologises, but later Roseanna thanks him for his candour.
Now knowing in some part why she behaves so timidly, Roseanna is intrigued by the forthright doctor. She finds out about his clinic and having done so, finds her own interest. He is suspicious of her involvement but soon concludes that she has no romantic in him, but only his work.
But overtime, their mutual endeavour leads to other feelings ... but Roseanna cannot believe that such a marvellous man as Mr Sackville could have any interest in her.
Will she melt the stone heart of the doctor and will she find her own self-love at last?
There a few hands against them, but her family in support.
Warm-hearted and joyous, this witty romance will reintroduce you to all your favourite Marchmonts, including the child Berthe (pronounced Bert-eh) whose honesty terrifies the ill-intentioned.
Admiration for Alicia Cameron's previous work:
'Alicia Cameron writes re-readable works of literature.'
'Witty and compelling.'
'Irreverent, romantic and clean romance.'
'I have read all Miss Cameron's work and share them with my daughters...'
'Better for depression than Prozac'
'Enormous fun!'
'I have been a fan since her first book Clarissa and the Poor Relations, a screwball comedy, like an old movie by Preston Sturgis!'
'A worthy successor to Georgette Heyer ...'
Genre: Historical
