A Necessary Facade by Robyn Mearsley

The dramatic conclusion to the Becksleigh Canal Series

Never had Miss Alice Leyland been so instantly attracted to a gentleman until she met the handsome, stylish—and slightly roguish—James Carey. Encountering him first in the rural Becksleigh region and then during the London season, she revelled under the intensity of his regard.

But was he the open, debonair and wealthy gentleman he appeared to be, or was he—as some of her friends believed—a smooth-talking rogue intent on enriching himself at the expense of others? For he had sought to undermine the completion of the Becksleigh Canal, a project of great importance to her extended family and the whole Becksleigh region.

For her own peace of mind, Alice knew she must discover who he was under his charming facade. But it is only when they return to the Becksleigh region that his facade is finally breached and the fates of those connected with the canal are decided.
