The Banishment

by M. C. Beaton

Overview

In this Regency romance series opener by the bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin mysteries, a family’s future rests on a daughter’s engagement.

Isabella Beverley is blessed with unparalleled beauty but, unfortunately, has been raised in the most snobbish and haughtiest of families. And when her father gambles away their fortune—including Mannerling, the exquisite family mansion—Isabella discovers there is very little sympathy for her plight. As the eldest, Isabella is chosen to court Mr. Judd, the roguish bachelor who won Mannerling. Surely no sacrifice is too great to regain their home? But tempting her away from Mr. Judd is Lord Fitzpatrick, an Irish rake who fears Isabella can never love a man as she does her home—but is nonetheless determined to convince her to choose man over manse!

“Another easy entertainment from a veteran romancer.”—Kirkus Reviews
