Op voorraad. Voor 23:59 besteld, morgen in huis
A witty historical romantic comedy with Jane Austen-esque appeal.
Move over, Mr Darcy, there's a new man in town . . .
It is a truth universally acknowledged that an arrogant bachelor insistent on a wife who meets the strictest of requirements . . . deserves his comeuppance.
The Honourable Mr Malcolm is searching for a wife, but not just any wife. He's determined to elude the fortune hunters and find a woman who will meet the qualifications of his well-crafted list. But after years of searching, he's beginning to despair of ever finding this paragon. And then Selina Dalton arrives in town . . .
Selina, a vicar's daughter of limited means, is thrilled when her friend Julia invites her to London - until she learns it's part of a plot to exact revenge on Mr Malcolm. Selina is reluctant to participate in Julia's scheme, especially after meeting the irresistible Mr Malcolm, who seems very different from the arrogant scoundrel of Julia's description.
But when Mr Malcolm begins judging Selina against his unattainable standards, Selina decides that she has some qualifications of her own. And if he is to meet them, he must reveal the real man behind . . . Mr Malcolm's List.
'A merry romp! Mr. Malcolm's List is packed with action as one tangled romantic misunderstanding follows fast upon another's heels - to hilarious effect' Mary Balogh
'A charming, light-hearted confection, with humour, sparkling banter and gently simmering romantic tension' Anne Gracie
'[A] witty Austen-esque romp' Entertainment Weekly
Move over, Mr Darcy, there's a new man in town...
It is a truth universally acknowledged that an arrogant bachelor deserves his comeuppance...
The Honourable, excessively handsome, excessively wealth and perhaps a tad egotistical, Mr Malcolm is searching for a wife - but not just any wife. He's armed himself with a list of ideal qualities that his future wife will have to embody. After years of searching, he's beginning to despair of ever finding this paragon . . . until Selina Dalton arrives in town.
Selina, a vicar's daughter of limited means, is thrilled when her friend Julia invites her to London - until she learns it's part of a plot to exact revenge on Mr Malcolm, whose list has been discovered. Using the list, Selina is to play the part of his perfect woman, only to shatter his hopes at the most opportune moment.
Given their instant attraction, Selina is initially reluctant, but when Mr Malcolm begins judging her against his unattainable standards, she decides that it's high time to bring him down a peg or three. For she has some qualifications of her own, and if he is to meet them, he must reveal the real man behind his carefully controlled facade . . .
