A marriage of convenience story between Grace and Everett. I liked the slow simmering build up of feelings between these two and the witty banter that they shared. With a touch of drama and good emotional depth , this is an enjoyable read.

This story captures all the best of historical romance. The hero and heroine who by chance find each other and enter into a marriage of convenience that will satisfy their immediate needs. With "I have to marry a lord" being the first line in the story said by Grace Arnott, I knew this was going to be intriguing. But it was infinitely so much more. Grace's father had been a successful merchant that had recently passed away and had left in his will that she must marry a peer in order to obtain her inheritance and control of her younger brother Henry. Henry had been put in the guardianship of a despicable lord who wanted Grace for himself. Desperate, the word is circulated so that she might find that man quickly. Everett Hetherington, the Earl of Westbury is forced to look for a rich match to help him get out of financial trouble due to the mess his father and older brother had left before their deaths. Both attending a ball, Grace is the first person he sees and the stage is set. But Grace has many stipulations regarding their marriage of convenience. She will give Everett six weeks living at his estate and he is determined to win her over to be a "real" wife. Of course Grace is very jaded against aristocrats due to being looked down upon for so long as merchant class.
Sound simple? Well it is anything but. This story had a little of it all. Secrets, suspense and such strong emotions that will pull at your heart. There is a lot at stake for Everett to convince Grace to stay as a real wife, but most of all the love he has begun to feel for her. Can the two truly find love and can Grace save her brother from his appointed guardian?
Prepare to not be able to put this story down as you turn the first page. I cannot wait for more from this author and know you will feel the same!

London - 1865

Grace Alnott is disappointed that her father left her no inheritance other than a dowry that she will receive but only if she marries a Lord. In addition, her father made the odious Lord Raynor her 4-year-old brother, Henry’s guardian. Before her father died of prolonged grief at the loss of his wife, he had wanted Grace to marry Lord Raynor, but she refused because the man is a monster. Grace’s father had owned Alnott Stores, and during the man’s illness, Grace had taken over monitoring and buying for the stores.

Grace wishes that she could simply advertise for a Lord to marry. She would make a deal with him to let him have half of her 50,000 pound dowry. In exchange, she would be able to reclaim her brother and stay out of the Lord’s life.

At a ball that evening, Everett Hetherington, Earl of Westbury, learns of Grace’s proposition for a marriage of convenience and he is very intrigued because he needs money to pay his older brother’s debts. When his brother died, he left enormous debts from gambling and now Everett must pay them off. In addition, the cattle on his and his tenants’ farms have been hit with a disease that is killing many of them. Everett and Grace meet and discuss the stipulations they must agree to for the marriage. She agrees to give him half of her dowry and then move abroad with Henry. He wants her to agree to stay with him for six weeks before she can leave to carry on with her life. Should they consummate their marriage and she becomes pregnant, she must agree to have the baby at his home and leave the child with him to raise. They both agree, marry immediately, and head to his estate, Larksview.

Grace is enchanted with the land but sad that Everett has had to sell so many treasures to pay off the debts. His mother, however, does not approve of him marrying someone from trade and is rude to Grace.

As Grace and Everett spend time together, they find themselves caring for each other. But she is not sure she will gain custody of Henry because Lord Raynor is so evil. Will Grace decide to stay with Everett or leave and pursue getting Henry back?

I was up and down with this story. It certainly points out how unfair the laws were in saddling a new peer with the previous peer’s debts. In addition, the laws against women were also very unfair. Everett has the capability and intelligence to get Henry back but he seems more intent on getting Grace is in bed. In the end, I gave the book 4 stars. I hope it truly deserves it.

Copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I loved this story. There were likeable features in both of the main characters. Grace knew what she wanted and was quite determined in her words and actions. Everett, was caring and strong, although he did have his secrets. I liked the fact that he encouraged Grace to adopt interests in which she excelled. They both cared for their living siblings. This was an engaging read. It also highlights the fact that women were, increasingly, working outside of the home.
I will be looking for more books by this author. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Oh boy was this one ever not for me.

Warning: shouty capitals ahead.

The general plot is this: Everett is an impoverished lord who needs money to pay off his brother's debt and helping to stabilize his herd after a disease has ravaged it. Grace is the daughter of a shopkeeper who is left penniless after her father dies, and who refuses to marry the man her father chose for her, but she needs somebody to marry her so that she can get her inheritance and win custody of her younger brother. They're both essentially looking for a business arrangement, Grace agrees to split her inheritance half and half for such a situation, but when Everett's biggest requirement out of the deal is that Grace go through the motions of pretending to be in love with him for at least six weeks, for the sake of the morale of his people, what results is so much more. Spoiler alert? But it is a romance book, so you could have extrapolated.

The conceit of the novel is totally up my alley. It even started out fairly strong, and then was basically downhill from there for me. Let's start with the things that I did like. In one of their first interactions, Everett asks her her name, and she responds Miss Alnott. He insists that he wants her Christian name because her last name is transient and will change when she gets married. Grace insists, "My name might change, but I will always be an Alnott." Which I really appreciated. I liked the show of precision and also of slight opposition. Add to that the fact that she calls him on being in a bubble of privilege is *chef kisses fingers.*

When Grace at one point blames herself for one of her servants being sexually assaulted by the man Grace's father wanted her to marry, Everett reminds her that it's not her fault, even if she did encourage a relationship between the man and her servant; the only person to blame was the man who committed the crime. Obviously pretty anachronistic, as was a lot of it, but I'm not opposed to some of that in my historical fiction, honestly.

At the "wedding"—which we know is phony but obvs the person performing it does not—he is told to kiss the bride, which leads to this moment: "It took her a few seconds of him not moving, still holding her hand in his, for her to realize he was waiting for her approval." FUCKING YES! The idea of enthusiastic consent, especially in an historical romance, is my jam.

And then almost immediately after that, she refers to her virginity as her maidenhead.

But honestly, though, despite that initial great nod to consent, Everett spends THE LITERAL REST OF THE BOOK scheming about how to get his fake wife into bed, because he's CERTAIN that if he can do that, she won't want to leave. And here's the kicker: the reason he wants her not to leave is not because he's having feelings for her (yet); it's because he was already completely deceptive and wants her to stay so he can get the other half of her inheritance. The fucker.

There were some other pretty abusive relationship touchpoints that were disappointing and honestly surprising after the strong start. When Everett brings Grace to his estate, she asks him what has happened to all of the paintings that, you know, peers usually have filling the halls of their houses. It's literally the most honest question because he hasn't actually told Grace the extent of his money troubles yet, but "he hated her for inadvertently triggering this humiliation." Woof. That's some toxic masculinity if I've ever heard it.

Even after reassuring her that what happened to her servant was not her fault, Everett says, "And I'm sorry for what happened. Not all men, and not all aristocrats, are like that." To which I made the note: Ugh, how did you manage to work #NotAllMen into an historical romance?

ANNNNND when he finally told her about his whole scheme and she understandably got upset, he blamed HER for not following through on her promises and being convincingly "in love" with him for the servants, AND said that she should still give him the money to pay off his debts because she didn't have a chance of winning custody of her younger brother, which is what she wanted her money to do.

Lord Raynor, the man Grace's father wanted her to marry, is clearly meant to serve as a foil to Everett. This is one of the same issues that I had with Kiss Me, Kate: one of the men is clearly presented as a buffoonish monster, so we know who we want Kate—or Grace, in this case—to end up with. Even though, in reality, there are more than two options and all of these ladies should walk out the fucking door until they actually find someone who's not going to coerce them into bed. Even though, at one point Lord Raynor offers that Grace can annul her marriage to Everett and come back and marry him and take care of her brother. She, of course, refuses, because he's a rapist. AND THEN EVERETT MAKES THE SAME FUCKING OFFER AT THE END OF THE BOOK, AFTER SHE'S LEFT HIM.

Then there's the good old "using rape as a plot device," which was actually the entire reason for the creation of the character of Grace's former maid, Anna.

Almost incessant discussion of pregnancy was also quite a turn off. Honestly, this is a trope in many romance novels, but usually it happens in a fun epilogue. From the very beginning of their partnership, both of them have stipulations for entering into it. Everett's third stipulation is phrased thusly: "I will absolutely adhere to your condition that I will not force anything in any way, but were anything to happen, with mutual consent, you must return to give birth to the child." Um, what? I feel like you're missing a step there. It's almost like y'all don't know that pregnancy does not automatically happen any time you have sex. Like you think it's a certainty that you get it on and then, poof, baby. Obvs. It's brought up at least six or seven more times in the book, to the point that I finally made a note that said, "ENOUGH WITH THE PREGNANCY TALK."

If anything good came from it, it was that I started writing down romance tropes—especially historical romance tropes—because I want to do a post ranking them from my favourite to least favourite. And there were A LOT of them in this book, including member of the peerage trying to live up to expectations put upon older brother who was supposed to have title but died so second son can no longer live the life of a layabout playboy any longer; the leading lady is not beautiful in the traditional way, but in a more "quirky" fashion (literally how Grace is described in this book); "emotional" women overreacting to literally every little thing; young woman has been burned before, commits to never loving again; description of dude smell; dude is SO humongously endowed that he'll never fit.

But you know what? Just because it's not for me, doesn't mean it's not for anyone. The book is available beginning June 25, so check it out if that sounds up your alley. Or if you want to feel that sometimes cathartic "need to throw your Kindle across the room" feeling.

I really enjoyed this book! I love that the historical Romance stories are making a comeback. One of my favorite books is pride and prejudice and everytime I read a book like this it just brings me back. Like in any historical Romance the woman Grace needs to marry someone in order to save her family. In this case help her brother. Everett is the man for the job. I really liked the dynamic between Grace and Everett. This book is well written and had a few surprises!!! I would recommend this to anyone who likes historical Romance!!!

I just fell in love with this couple!
My favourite type of story is marriage of convenience!

Grace needs to marry a titled man if she’s to save her brother from the ghastly guardian,who will do anything to marry Grace and get his hands in her inheritance.
And who better than the impoverished Earl of Westbury Everett Hetherington. He needs an heiress and she needs the title. An agreement has been made, but both have secrets that can destroy the feelings that have started to take possession of their hearts.

Loved the whole story from start to finish this was an emotionally packed story with secrets and witty dialogue. Descriptive and detailed keep you captive till the last page.
Will definitely be looking for more by Eve Pendle.
This was a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This was my honest unbiased opinion.

Six Weeks with a Lord by Eve Pendle is the story of Grace Alnott and Everett Hetherington, Earl of Westbury.
Grace is in a hard spot when her father left her brother in the dangerous arms of Lord Rayner. The only way to get him and the inheritance is to marry a Titled man. Grace not wanting to marry any such man but goes forward to find the best and safest man she can. That being Everett who is a newly Titled man who needs money to help bring back the estate he now has. But Grace wants a marriage of convenience and Everett agrees but he wants her to act the loving wife for at least six weeks. But is six weeks for Everett to get Grace to love him and he loves her?
Loved their story!

This is the first novel that I have read of hers and I must say " Bravo". It is about a second son that becomes an Earl and has to figure out some way to pay the debts that his father and brother left behind. The estate is in bad shape. Everette Hethering, Earl of Westbury, he has been left with a mess and his mother, he is not sure what to do with either. He is looking for an heiress to help. Grace Alnott, is the daughter of trade. Her father owned very successful stores and tried to force her to marry a very unsuitable man. Her brother was made ward of this same man.
I loved this story, Poor Lord Westbury, he tried but was so afraid, that he could not convince her to give him enough money to pay off the last debts. I enjoyed the characters they were very realistic and so full of life. It was nice watching the interactions between them. The plot is a little twisty but the author has everything under control and has managed to write a great story. I read from the beginning to end, could not put it down.

Six Weeks with a Lord by Eve Pendle

Grace Alnott’s father has stipulated she must marry a peer to receive her inheritance so her idea is to find a poor man with a title to marry her but he will have to abide by her terms. Everett Hetherington, Earl of Westbury was in the military when his father and later his brother, the heir, died. He is back from war and destitute thus willing to engage in a marriage of convenience… He wants to save his estate and she wants to get her money in hopes of freeing her young brother from the man that is currently his guardian. Grace and Everett do marry but they keep secrets from one another that later come out and create problems.

I enjoyed this book but wished that Grace and Everett had been honest from the beginning. They were attracted to one another but both so guarded that it was difficult for them to really connect on all levels. I wanted to sit the two of them down and have them talk openly but that just didn’t seem to happen. I wanted to know a bit more about some of the other characters in the book: Everett’s brother George, Grace’s friends Caroline and Maurice, Lord Rayner and even Grace’s parents. I would also have liked to know how the issue with the cattle ended and perhaps whether or not Everett ended up with an heir.

NOTE: I did look up Rinderpest, the disease that was attacking the cattle on Everett’s estate. It was lethal and continued to plague animals for over a decade after this story took place even into the early 21st century.

Did I enjoy the book? Yes
Would I read another book by this author? Yes

3-4 Stars

(Tropes: Marriage of Convenience)

Quick summary: To save her 4-year-old brother from an abusive guardian Grace has to marry someone of the ton as her dowry is conditional of marrying a peer. Everett Hetherington is a poor earl who needs money for his estate after a cattle plague. They agree on a marriage in name only, but the earl demands Grace spends 6 chaste weeks with him to keep up appearances. Grace is promised independence, Everett needs her to fall for him (to get access to more money).

I started this book about 3 times, have put it down and picked it up probably 8 times over the last 3 weeks, and now 83 pages in I am still not invested.

The story is just filled with sentences like this:

- God, how was she to keep her head, or her maidenhead for that matter, when his eyes danced with challenge?

and the writing is awkward

- Due to her protective "sleep" on the train, they had passed the journey in silence.

I did not finish this book.

Publisher's Description:

Grace Alnott’s dowry comes with a condition: she must marry a lord. Desperate for money to rescue her little brother from his abusive but aristocratic guardian, she offers half her dowry in return for a marriage of convenience.

Everett, Lord Westbury, needs money for his brother’s debtors just as cattle plague threatens to destroy his estate. Grace’s bargain is a perfect solution, until he is committed and realizes gossip exaggerated her wealth. So he makes his own terms. She must live with him for six weeks, long enough to seduce her into staying and surrendering her half of the dowry. But their deal means he can’t claim any husbandly rights. He has to tempt her into seducing him.

Their marriage is peppered with prejudices, attraction, and secrets that will change everything.

My Thoughts:

This new on the scene author has done very well with this debut novel. A story of a marriage of convenience, in name only. I predict that if you like an emotional roller coaster read with just enough intimate scenes and heart wrenching moments that this is a book you will love.
If you prefer totally mild and light reading you should steer clear.
I gave this debut novel 4.25 of 5.0 stars for storyline and character development and a sensual rating of a hot 4.0 of 5.0 flames.
This book had just the right amount of physical intimacy with consequences. to not distract from the story.
I received a complimentary digital ARC of this title from the publisher via NetGalley to read and review. This in no way affected my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

Grace Alnott is out of time. To save her younger brother Henry from an abusive guardian Lord Rayner, her merchant father’s will demands she must marry a peer. Handsome but destitute Everett Hetherington, Earl of Westbury agrees to her offer of a marriage of convenience but stipulates she must live with him for six weeks. No matter how honourable he seems she can’t allow him to get too close, because the aristocracy cannot be trusted. Six weeks. Major Everett Hetherington, new Earl of Westbury, has exactly six weeks to convince the very independent Grace Alnott to spend the rest of her life with him.
A well written engrossing read it was hard to believe this is a debut novel as it was so accomplished.
The characters are very well developed & are very likeable. The pace of the story flows effortlessly & kept me absorbed all the way through. There were misconceptions, misunderstandings & secrets which all mae this a brilliant first novel. I look forward to more from the author
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Miss Grace Alnott has been put in a very uncomfortable position by her fathers Will. He has placed her little brother and his very large inheritance in the hands of his friend Lord Rayner. The idea was to force her to marry the man. Her dowry will only be released if she marries a Lord. She needs to find one that will agree to her terms.
Everett Hetherington, the new Earl of Westbury is in desperate need of a lot of money. His brother gambled away the last of the estate's money, and now disease is devastating his farmer's herds. A wealthy bride is a necessity.
A simple agreement to help both partners get what they want should work, but only when they are honest about it.
An emotional, sexy and at times complicated story with wonderful characters. They are both good people with difficult decisions to make.
It is very easy to be drawn into their lives, and be thankful for the women who worked so hard for their rights.
I loved it.

While it started off strong, this book ended up falling solid middle of the road for me. It had all the elements for a better story - a villainous lord with the potential to corrupt an innocent child, a head-strong female willing to do whatever it takes to save her brother, and a destitute Lord who will stop at nothing - not even a seduction - to save his family name and estate.

However, there were just too many details left out that kept me from fully enjoying this story. Let us begin with Lord Raynor. He was named guardian of Grace's brother Henry by her father and she does not like it. While I can understand her wanting to keep her brother with her, the soul reason she dislikes Lord Raynor we are lead to believe is because of things he did to a maid. We also get some hints that he may be allowing abuse to come to her brother, but she never tries to substantiate her fears. And yes, he's a leecher who doesn't need to be caring for a child, and I dislike the way he treated Grace, but I fear for a villain, he fell completely flat.

Next we move on to Grace and Everett. At first, I liked their interactions. Despite the fact that neither was entirely truthful with the other, given their unusual circumstances it was understandable. I enjoyed watching as he slowly got her to lower her carefully built walls, his patience and understanding when he spoke with her. I even understood and enjoyed her ability to remain strong to her plans and not be taken in by her husband.

And then they had sex.

And suddenly that became their entire focus. We hear little about how her efforts to win custody of her brother are going. We hear next to nothing about the deadly disease wrecking havoc on Everett's lands. It isn't until Grace accidentally finds out the truth (or the truth as it were at a prior time) that the issue of her brother is even resolved. And still the reader is left wondering at the fate of the cows and the tenants of Westbury Estate. While most of the other issues are resolved, or at least a potential solution offered it seems the main one of why Everrett needed her money in the first place is all but forgotten. I feel this story would have been more enjoyable if there was just a bit less sex and a bit more focus on them finding solutions to ALL the issues at hand.

Overall however, I do believe this story will appeal to those who enjoy historical romance novels. I would read more from this author!

DISCLAIMER: I received a complimentary copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This has not affected my review in any way. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are 100% my own.

This was my first book from Eve Pendle and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Grace and Everett were so lovely together. They both knew exactly what they wanted going into that Mariage of convenience for 6 weeks only. She was in there to mainly save a little brother and him to save his estate. Their coming together was really fun to watch.
This ARC was provided in return for an honest review that's my own.

I just love finding a new author to follow – Eve Pendle winds a wonderful story with great characters.
Grace Alnott, is trying to find a husband, purely of convenience so that she can access her dowry. The condition that he must abide by is to let her leave in order to rescue her younger brother. Her father, a successful merchant, had left her brother in the care of a man that she fears will harm her brother. She eventually meets the Earl of Westbury, Everett Hetherington, who agrees to marry her but he also has conditions. He requires a wife to appear as if she is love with him for six weeks. However, this is a plan that neither Grace nor Everett find that they can abide by.
I loved both characters and the attraction between them, almost leaps of the page. Their attraction is also enhanced by the witty dialogue between them. Pendle was able to evoke such strong passion, that I kept cursing them for not revealing their secrets to the other. As a reader, it was difficult to not be engaged!
I look forward to reading more by this author.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you aren't usually into the marriage of convenience trope, this marriage of convenience will change your mind! Eve Pendle does a marvelous job of making the two characters shine in this story, even though both are deceiving the other. To give you an idea of why I think this book will knock your socks off, consider this: some of my biggest pet peeves in books are deception and insta-lust, both of which happen to varying extents in Six Weeks With a Lord. However, they are done in such a way that it's not only realistic but also relatable. I felt like anyone could easily find themselves in either the hero's or the heroine's shoes, and would we make the same choices? I guess that's for you to decide.

Miss Grace Alnott is left without an inheritance and a dowry payable only upon marriage to a titled gentleman. Having turned down the man her father wanted her to marry, Grace must now find a way to save her little brother from said man's clutches by finding a fortune hunter willing to give up half her dowry. That money she can use to gain custody of her brother. Everett Hetherington, Earl of Westbury, is exactly the man she needs. Everett lives in the country, desperately trying to help the farmers on his land and pay off his late brother's gambling debts. Seeing an opportunity to wed not just for the money but also for the company of a beautiful woman, he accepts Grace's proposition to give her half of her dowry. With a few conditions - she must stay with him for six weeks, pretend to all that they are in love, and give him any child they may produce from any misguided liaisons. And he intends to make sure a liaison happens, so that she'll stay, and he can use the entirety of her dowry to save his estate. Now all he has to do is seduce her.

I know. Seduce a woman desperate to save her brother all so he can get his hands on her money? Sounds a bit awful, to be honest. But you find out as you read his reasons, and since she kept her real need for the money from him, Grace and Everett had a big lack of communication that caused a lot of their issues. I liked how sincerely kind Everett was, and even though he intended to seduce her, he felt bad about it and genuinely liked Grace. While Grace tried to resist Everett, she found herself being more and more drawn to Everett, despite knowing that their time was limited and she had to focus on saving her brother. Everett had a lot of stupid moments, and for a time I thought maybe Grace would give in to temptation too quickly. But their love really draws out for majority of the book, so you feel her trepidation and go through everything with her. It was a really great pacing for the story.

Eve Pendle has a way with words, and I'm sure any book she writes next will be equally wonderful! I can't wait to read it.

One thing I can say for certain: I WILL BE READING MORE BY EVE PENDLE!

What a delightful debut novel! Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It very nearly checked all of the boxes that I have internally on what I want in a romance. Here’s a few reasons:

<blockquote>1. The author clearly researched the time period the book is set in. It was there in the details and not just how-they-dressed research. It was important to plot and integrated in small details, but not overwhelming either.
2. Consent was important to the hero and heroine, and it was sexy.
3. Female empowerment done in a way that felt natural and unforced.
4. Strong writing.</blockquote>

This is a marriage of convenience romance. The heroine, Grace, was in need of marrying a peer (and note that courtesy titles were discussed as unacceptable—one of those little details that shows research and understanding of the society and time period) due to a stipulation in her father’s will. The hero, Everett, was in desperate need of cash due to a cattle disease outbreak at his estate and debts he inherited from his father and older brother. Grace’s plan was to split her dowry and go their separate ways. He bargains for six weeks to make the marriage appear legitimate and plans to convince her to stay. He promises to not take his husbandly rights unless she asks him to, and she accepts the six weeks plan.

This was a romance that started in attraction and built up on mutual respect founded in better understanding of each other’s character, which made it feel more real and believable. It was a slow build that allowed for an integrity-based attachment, which are the best sorts in my opinion. There was also some amusing bits and they could be and often were playful in their interactions. I think I would have liked to see more of these. Because while charming and natural at first, after the reality of their situations were explained better, it felt slightly jarring. In general, though, I thought them very cute together.

The hero was a second son and, before assuming earldom, was a soldier who had risen to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He had spent time in the Crimea War and in India. His patience with Grace was wonderful. He was compelling, strong and confident, yet vulnerable. He was nearly constantly validating her and women in general.

<blockquote><I>“I shouldn’t have tried to mix up the classes like that. It was always going to end in disaster.”
“No.” He took her hand and shook it gently. They both stopped walking. She looked up into his eyes. “It’s nothing to do with class. Good behavior is classless. It happens everywhere and should be universal. Sadly, it isn’t, and the vice is just as equally distributed. You can’t blame yourself. People aren’t always what they seem.”</I></blockquote>

The majority of what I highlighted were quotes by him. Some wonderful insights on humans and society. Some utterly romantic.

<blockquote><I>“Grace, I want to be as intensely close to you as a man and woman can be.”</I></blockquote>

My only slightly major hiccup came towards the end, which I felt was somewhat underwhelming. There was a misunderstanding of sorts that I didn’t feel was handled as I expected the characters to do (primarily the hero). When the situation was rectified as it needed to be, I was hoping for it to be a bit grander and sweepingly romantic. Ugh, honestly, I am being hypercritical because it’s that good. There’s no overarching issues on a particular aspect (I.e. plot, writing or research). Most of my favorite authors did not produce such a strong debut as this one. I am sure that it will not be everyone’s cup of tea, but It worked for me and now I am looking forward to her next release.

Six Weeks with a Lord was a delightful story. Sparkling wit and great characters enhance the pages. Our patrons will adore.
