His Lordship's Landlady
She was heiress to a mountain of debts and a legacy of independence. Marriage for money was unthinkable! So Philadelphia Prentiss entered the world of commerce: as proprietress of a fashionable London boardinghouse for titled young men only.
Too soon for comfort Philadelphia learned that it took more than a title to make a man a gentleman! But she was determined to maintain the reputation of The Rochester--even if it meant evicting the dashing general, Lord Harry Vane, who dazzled her as no man ever had with his mastery and total self-assurance. For the first time she had to ask herself the most troubling question of all: Could she trust herself alone with such a man?

[From back of the book: She was heiress to a mountain of debts and a legacy of independence. Marriage for money was unthinkable! So Philadelphia Prentiss entered the world of commerce: as proprietress of a fashionable London boardinghouse for titled young men only. Too soon for comfort Philadelphia learned that it took more than a title to make a man a gentleman! But she was determined to maintain the reputation of The Rochester-even if it meant evicting the dashing general, Lord Harry Vane, who dazzled her as no man ever had with his mastery and total self-assurance. For the first time she had to ask herself the most troubling question of all: Could she trust herself alone with such a man?]
Sweet romance, but a slow start. Loved the Hero and his batman(valet); both are great characters. Heroine was okay, but somewhat bland, missish, and clueless (I'm just a poor country bumpkin female adrift in the big city; oh dear me whatever should I do?!). Nice enough story, but a bit contrived and not completely engaging. Some words and phrases seemed from the wrong era.
