Book
Scandal in Spring
First published 2006
Daisy Bowman is ordered by her father to marry his trusted employee Matthew Swift if she fails to find another husband. Her dislike of the seemingly conventional businessman changes as she recognizes his humour and loyalty, but a concealed danger from his past threatens the match.
The novel continues the series’ interest in transatlantic business families and the meeting of American commercial ambition with British landed society. Marriage remains an economic decision, but friendship gives Daisy room to judge character beyond rank and appearance.
