Two Ruins Make a Right by Janna MacGregor is an enjoyable, emotional, second chance story that originally started as
a novella. However, a prologue and additional scenes have been added in order
to make it a full-length novel.
James Richardson was going to marry Nell, the woman he loved, until she
broke everything off the day he proposed. Now the nephew and heir presumptive
to a dukedom, is ready to remarry and give his young daughter, Valentina, the
mother she desperately needs; a woman who will not only love him, but love his
daughter too. James told Valentina, his six year old daughter, that she could
pick out her new Mama. The Duke and Duchess of Darnley are having a house party
of women for James to choose that bride. The
last person he expected to find at his house party is the very woman who jilted
him eight years ago.
Nellwyn, Nell, Whitton, the widowed Marchioness of Whitten, has always
regretted having to jilt James, the man she loved because of her parents’ debt.
As she and her sister Christa are on their way home their carriage breaks down,
stranding them in the last place she wishes to be: at the Darnley estate, his
home, amid a house party. Things become worse when her sister and James’
cousins are caught in a compromising position. Nell is determined to safeguard
her sister’s future; even deny her the man she loves. Being around James again
reminds Nell of everything she has sacrificed. It doesn’t help, that Valentina
decides that Nell will be her new Mama
When his cousin compromises her sister, James has no other choice but to
spend time with Nell. He intends to help his cousin persuade Nell to allow the
lovers to wed. It is only once James learns of the machinations and secrets Nell’s
parents used in forcing her to jilt him that he can forgive Nell for the
decision she made eight years ago. With the help of the duke and duchess, James
is forced to confront his true feelings.
