The Daughters of Allamont Hall<\/strong><\/em> is a series of Regency romances, featuring the six unmarried daughters of Mr William Allamont of Allamont Hall. When their father dies unexpectedly, his will includes surprisingly generous dowries for the sisters, but only on condition that they marry in the proper order, the eldest first.<\/p>\n

The books are traditional, in the style of Georgette Heyer or Jane Austen \u2013 drawing room, rather than bedroom.<\/p>\n

Book 5: Grace <\/strong><\/em>Grace\u2019s four older sisters have married and moved away, and life is very quiet and boring.

Book 6: Hope <\/strong><\/em>Hope has no wish to marry, but it\u2019s almost five years since her father died, and the final peculiar clause of his will is about to come into effect: if Hope\u2019s brothers can\u2019t be found, then the whole estate will be bequeathed to the church, and Hope must move to the Dower House with her mother. There\u2019s just one way out: her cousin Hugo can inherit Allamont Hall, but only if he marries Hope. Can she bear to give up the chance of finding a man who loves her, even if it means saving her home?<\/p>\n
