Books like A Heavenly Houseguest by Emily Dalton
Miss Angela Fairfax resents her assignment to Castlerigg Abbey, a place she neither wishes to visit nor to host, especially not the notorious Marquess Sydney St. James, famed for his daring escapades. Intended as a scheme to unite the two, Angela’s perspective shifts when a lost infant surfaces at the Abbey’s threshold. Together with Sydney, she embarks on unraveling the mystery of the child, gradually revealing that the marquess is far kinder than his reputation suggests. Through their joint efforts, Angela discovers that the most unexpected companions can bring the most divinely comforting presence.
Set against the refined backdrop of Regency society, the novel explores themes of duty, romance, and the hidden depths of seemingly disreputable figures, all while featuring the subtle charm of the Abbey as a true "heavenly houseguest."
