Synopsis

2023 Readers' Favorite Honorable Mention

He needed to marry her for her dowry but falling in love with her foiled his plans.

Miss Rosamond Hendre has had the most remarkable change of fortune for a daughter of a seaman. She went from living a simple life in the countryside to being introduced to high Society as the ward of a marquess. She is excited to embrace her newfound life, and she wants nothing more than to find a love match this Season.

Malcom, the Viscount of Brentwood, needs to marry an heiress and Miss Hendre fits the bill. His family is on the brink of ruination and he doesn't have time for games. The problem is that Miss Hendre seems immune to his charms and constantly rebuffs his advances. But he isn't one to give up so easily, especially when so much is at stake.

Malcolm wants nothing to do with love, but he knows he must play the part of a devoted suitor or else he will lose Rosamond. But the more he plays the part, the more the line begins to blur between what is real and what is not. As his feelings deepen for Rosamond, Malcolm wonders if this battle of wills—and hearts—will end in happily ever after, or devastation?

Goodreads review by Pamela on February 22, 2024

This is a fair romantic read by Laura. It was not my favorite. She comes out of no where to face the Ton, and races a carriage through the middle of the other ones on the busy street. She needed more training if she was truly looking for a husband. Plus the gentleman says they will have only ten tho......more

Goodreads review by Dharini on February 06, 2024

A slight improvement on the first installment. At least the leads talked about something before moving on to their grand proclamations of love. The side plot had genuine potential. Women in marriages truly were powerless at the time, and both the law and society were equally unforgiving. However, its......more

He thought she was just a brainless heiress that he could sway with his usual flirting, to accept his offer of marriage. She had been through enough in her life to see through his arrogant attempts and she wanted nothing to do with him. When Malcom, the Viscount of Brentwood was informed by his fathe......more
