One mistaken umbrella. Two stubborn hearts. And a whole town determined to interfere.
Eleanor Whitmore is twenty-seven, unmarried, sharp-tongued, and perfectly content to remain that way-much to her mother's despair. Then, during a rainy afternoon in Hawthorne, Eleanor accidentally walks away with an expensive black umbrella belonging to the newly returned Julian Arthur Hartley.
Julian comes to retrieve his property. He expects an apology. Instead, he meets a woman who answers every teasing remark with one of her own.
What begins as an argument soon becomes a battle of wit involving garden parties, troublesome relatives, jealous misunderstandings, an elegant young woman from London, a handsome former army captain, town gossip, and two people determined not to admit the obvious.
As Eleanor and Julian discover that irritation can look suspiciously like attraction, Hawthorne watches-and talks.
Filled with humorous dialogue, old-fashioned courtship, family interference, jealousy, friendship, and clean romance, The Gentleman Who Came to Return an Umbrella is a lighthearted story about discovering love where you least expect it.
Because sometimes the wrong umbrella leads you to the right person.
Book One of The Hawthorne Romances.
