Synopsis: From the New York Times bestselling writing duo Janet Evanovich and Dorien Kelly, based on the family from the bestselling Love in a Nutshell, comes the story of an heiress longing to marry for love or not at all. Caroline Maxwell would like nothing more than to join her brother, Eddie, and his friend Jack Culhane on their adventures. While Jack and Eddie are off seeing the world, buying up businesses and building wildly successful careers, Caroline's stuck at home, frightening off the list of men her mother hopes will ask for her hand in marriage. When her mother sets her sights on the questionable Lord Bremerton as a possible suitor, Caroline struggles with her instincts and the true nature of her heart. She longs for adventure, passion, love, and most of all...Jack Culhane, an unconventional Irish-American bachelor with new money and no title —a completely unacceptable suitor, in the eyes of Caroline's mother. Can Jack and Caroline find love, against all odds, with danger looming and despite the forces pulling them apart? Set in New York City in 1894, The Husband List evokes the lavish lifestyles and social expectations of the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers, and a time when new money from the Americas married Old World social prestige and privilege. Dresses by Worth, transoceanic voyages, lavish parties, a little intrigue, and a lot of romance await in The Husband List.
