He's a cad of the worst sort. She has vowed never to marry. Who would have guessed they could be the match of the season?
The last thing Miss Prudence Watson expects to find on her tour of the English countryside is a cause to crusade for. But an unexpected encounter in the streets of Otley alerts her to inhumane working conditions at the local worsted mill, particularly for children, and she's compelled to act.
The object of her outrage is mill owner William Sherbourne, a Royal Navy officer just returned from sea. Following in his wake is his reputation as a cad—and a secret so shocking he'll do anything to protect it. Worse yet, he's handsome and charming and not at all the villain Prudence expected.
As always, society tattler Miss Pickworth has a thing or two to say about the young crusader and the courteous cad at whom her protests are aimed. But it seems that even Miss Pickworth has secrets to be revealed as Prudence and William learn the truth about each other—and about their own deceptive hearts.
Fans of Jane Austen, Regency romance, or Bridgerton won't want to miss this clean and wholesome, opposites-attract love story, sure to keep you turning pages—possibly even swooning—until the very end.

      While touring the English countryside, Miss Prudence Watson visits the mill in Otley, where she discovers deplorable working conditions and pits herself against the ownerWilliam Sherbourne, a recently returned naval officer. VERDICT Rich in historical detail, this latest Regency romance in Palmer's Miss Pickworth series ("The Affectionate Adversary, The Bachelor's Bargain") is a fun, lively read as hero and heroine meet, argue, and fall in love. It also stands well on its own for readers who haven't read the other series titles.

      After her true love jilts her, Prudence Watson abandons the idea of marriage in favor of dedicating her life to a worthy cause. While in Yorkshire with her sister, Prudence finds exactly the opportunity she is looking for. William Sherbourne, a recently retired British naval officer, has returned home to run his familys wool mill, where Prudence discovers terrible working conditions and vows to show him the error of his ways. While William is at first charmed by Prudence, he quickly finds her efforts to reform him and his business practices annoying. But Prudence isnt about to give up on her newfound purpose in life, or on William himself. In Christy Award winner Palmers latest Regency-set historical romance, the importance of hope, faith, and the redeeming power of Gods love plays a key part in the story as a quietly courageous heroine does her part to leave the world a better place, while also managing to find a bit of romance along the way.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
