What this book is about
Lillian Bowman is an American heiress who refuses to behave as a proper English lady—and Marcus, Lord Westcliff, can't stop noticing her. Their mutual antagonism becomes something far more complicated when they're stranded together. It Happened One Autumn is frequently cited as one of Kleypas's best, with electrifying chemistry and a deeply satisfying grovel.
