Confirmed spinster and vicar’s daughter, Miss Dorcas Delancey, appears at the door of former military officer Alasdhair MacKay bearing her cousin’s abandoned infant, leaving the babe in his care. While initially resistant to welcoming the child into his bachelor home, Alasdhair soon falls in love with the boy. So begins a friendship between Dorcas and Alasdhair that grows into much more, due to their mutual concern for the babe, as well as their passion for social causes, especially improving the lives of women who resort to prostitution to survive. When rising star in her father’s Church, Isaiah Mornebeth, threatens Dorcas and her family with an extortion plot, Dorcas plans to sacrifice herself once again and turn away from the man she has come to love in order to save her brother’s reputation. In each of Ms. Burrowes wonderful stories, there comes a moment when the reader abandons all hope for an HEA, understanding that there simply is no possible resolution to the barriers standing between the H and h. But, inevitably, an ingenious solution appears and the reader is left not only satisfied, but delighted! Ms. Burrowes writes beautiful prose, believable dialog, and weaves intricate story lines that will keep the reader enthralled. I highly recommend Miss Delightful, a stand-alone story and a lovely addition to the Mayhem in Mayfair series.
