I implore you to STOP what you’re doing and grab yourself a copy of Dawn Crandall’s The Hesitant Heiress. But just as everything Amaryllis has recently hoped for comes to fruition, it all falls apart when she finds that the real culprit who has been “managing her life” isn’t who she thought at all. Nathan turns out to be much more than he seems and everything she never knew she wanted. Amaryllis reluctantly takes part in her aunt’s society, intent on getting to the west coast on her own… and without a husband.ĭespite her own misgivings, she soon finds herself falling in love with the most unlikely of men, Nathan Everstone, whose father not only had a part in her expulsion, but whose ominous presence has haunted her dreams for a decade since her mother’s tragic death. Now the only way to achieve her goal comes with high stakes for someone set on avoiding men as much as possible: marry within the year to inherit her grandmother’s fortune.


After being unjustly expelled from the Boston Conservatory of Music, Amaryllis Brigham sees her dreams of founding a music academy disappearing before her very eyes.
