With no other course but to flee Kent society, Muriel knows the only way out of this debacle is to out stride it by securing what every society matron dreams of obtaining-a coronet with a sumptuous title to match. And after a glittering reception in the courts of London, Muriel's dreams might come true after all. After years serving as a Privateer under another name, Captain Erik Draycott, the recent heir to Draycott Castle and his uncle's title, returns home to find his London House in disrepair thanks to his nemesis, Requin. Erik soon finds while his rumored pauper state has kept most potential London brides away, the country brides of Kent have no such qualms and are more than willing to fill his coffers with their fathers' wealth, despite his desire to remain single so he may return to his ship unfettered as soon as his arm is healed from his skirmish with an elusive French smuggler. But, when he encounters the unconventional Muriel Beau and she becomes inadvertently entangled in his failed mission, he is torn between protecting this enchanting country lady by staying at her side and his calling back to the high seas as privateer captain of the Twilight Treader"--

She needs a husband, but is he looking for a wife?
What started as a nice Regency romance really took off into an exciting adventure of danger, intrigue, betrayal, and, of course, romance. To Catch A Coronet is the first book in the Best Laid Plans series as well as the first book that I've read from Grace Hitchcock. It, however, will not be my last.
I quite enjoyed Grace Hitchcock's blend of genres in To Catch A Coronet. There is something about a historical romance with suspense that is just fun to read and I tend to gravitate towards them when I find series (or standalones) like Best Laid Plans.
Grace Hitchcock has a real winner with To Catch A Coronet and I'm looking forward to finding more of the same romantic sparks, mystery, humor, and historical detail in the next Best Laid Plans novel when it releases...
(I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)
