Description: What do you do if you are of noble stock - but impoverished, living in London with a certain style to maintain? One has to work . . . but one's relatives will be appalled when one turns one's hand to trade - and opens a hotel, The Poor Relation, offering employment to others of the same social standing and in the same awkward situation. This is precisely what Lady Fortescue decides upon and, together with friend Colonel Sandhurst, transforms her decrepit Bond Street home into a posh hotel, offering guests the pleasure of being waited upon by the nobility. With the help of other down-and-out aristocrats they do just that, and London's newest - and most fashionable! - hotel is born . . . much to the dismay of the Duke of Rowcester, Lady Fortescue's nephew, who is convinced his aunt's foray into trade will denigrate the illustrious family name! Praise for M. C. Beaton 'A delightful tale . . . romance fans are in for a treat.' Booklist '[M. C. Beaton] is the best of the Regency writers.' Kirkus 'This is a charming and humorous Regency recommended for those who enjoy light-hearted historical romance.' Publishers Weekly M.C. Beaton (1936-2019) was the author of both the Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series, as well as numerous Regency romances. Her books have been translated into seventeen languages and have sold more than twenty-two million copies worldwide. She is consistently the most borrowed UK adult author in British libraries, and her Agatha Raisin books have been turned into a TV series on Sky.
