About this ebook
One of Publishers Weekly’s Top 10 Romances of the Fall!
New York Times bestseller, Suzanne Enoch takes a delightful new path in her joyful historical romantic comedy, Something in the Heir.
Smart, capable heiress Emmeline Pershing will do anything to keep her beloved home; and all it takes is an arranged marriage and a teeny white lie to fulfill her family’s silly inheritance rules. But now her little fib means that she and her completely unsuspecting husband are going to inherit big — and very messy! —trouble.
Emmeline and William Pershing have enjoyed a perfectly convenient marriage for eight years. Their relationship is a seamless blend of their talents and goals. They’ve settled into separate, well-ordered lives beneath the same roof, and are content to stay that way—or so Emmeline thinks. And if William has secretly longed for a bit more from the woman he adores, he’s managed to be content with her supreme skills as a hostess and planner, which has helped him advance his career.
Then when Emmeline’s grandfather, the reclusive Duke of Welshire, summons them both for his birthday celebration and demands they bring their two little angelic children, William is stunned to discover that his very proper wife invented not one, but two heirs to fulfill the agreement for living at Winnover. But surely if Emmeline and William team up and borrow two cherubs to call their own, what could go wrong? Enter George, age 8, and Rose, 5—the two most unruly orphans in Britain.
As the insanity unfolds, their careful, professional arrangement takes some surprisingly intimate turns as well. Perhaps it takes a bit of madness to create the perfect happily ever after.

I think the book is well paced and you’ll want to keep reading when a runaway returns to the siblings lives, and something is kindling between mama and papa! Of course there is a happily ever after, however the author keeps us guessing how grand the HEA is until the end. I recommend this feel good book!

The couple agreed to live separate and apart under one roof and remain that way. When the Duke of Welshire, Emmie’s reclusive grandfather,

Something in the Heir is a lighthearted romp into the realm of ridiculous AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE! It is such a fun novel. The original plot engaged my imagination and transported me to merry old England. The characters were well-developed and I fell in love with George and Rose. Because the plot was original (to me), I never knew where the story would take me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. In a time where there is so much wrong/negativity in the world today, pick up this book and let it take you away for a few hours. 5 stars
