A delightful read!

Marcus Hadley was furious when his father remarried quickly after the death of his mother. It down-right galled him that his father married an actress! One with a daughter, no less! After a heated argument, Marcus left Rosemount for good. Four years later, Marcus found himself the new Earl of Ellston. His father and step-mother had died in a carriage accident. Marcus regretted the fact that he had never reconciled with his father. He had intended to do so, but never dreamed the earl would die so suddenly. He returned to Rosemount expecting to find a very young step-sister. Instead he found a full grown lady. And a desirable one at that! Julia Barclay had never met her step-bother, Marcus. She had been hidden in the shadows during the argument between father and son, so she knew his return would be awful. However, she had not expected him to return so soon! Julia had the house filled with stage friends and one big room was converted into a stage for rehearsing until they left on tour next month. Knowing how Marcus felt about actors, she quickly gave her friends "roles" of servants to play while Marcus was at Rosemount. Everyone, real servants included, thought it great fun! This way, her friends could rehearse whenever Marcus was out of the house and, most importantly, they would have a roof over their heads for the next month. Julia never expected to become attached to Marcus though. ***** Oh, this book is a DELIGHTFUL read! And there is a little more going on than I wrote. I read this story non-stop. The stage friends were not used to being servants, so they made many large and small mistakes. Therefore, there are a lot of amusing situations mixed in with the romance. I do not see how anyone could be disappointed with this story! I loved it! *****
