Synopsis

One good scandal deserves another…Lady Alexandrina Lawson has never minded her widowhood. After the disaster that was her first marriage, she found it rather enjoyable, despite the pity she received. What the public saw as devoted mourning to a respected man was, in fact, a complete disinterest in participating in anything Society could offer her ever again. When an invitation to a cousin's London event proves disastrous for Alexandrina, her reputation, and that of her child, her choice becomes simple: rescue or ruin.Enter Taft Debenham, Earl of Harwood.Taft could not have less interest in Lady Lawson or her cold manner, but neither could he stand by and let her suffer a forced marriage to a drunken idiot. Sacrificing himself on the altar of Society, thinking how his own reputation might benefit, he provides a rather clever solution: marry the woman himself, and claim outrage for the offenses against her. Over the protests of his bride, and those of his own sanity, Taft begins the greatest scheme he could ever imagine. Nothing surprises him more than beginning to discover that his wife has a heart beneath her icy exterior.And that he would do almost anything to claim it.

*** Contains some spoilers*** I liked the first half better than the second. These MCs had mutual friends but held onto their pre- conceived notions of each other. Lighthearted Taft fit in with Society. He thought her sour & prickly. Widowed Alexandrina "Alix" rejected nearly all she encountered b/c o......more

Goodreads review by Alisha on December 05, 2021

Super sweet and swoony Regency love story. If you like a good marriage of convenience story, this one's for you. Except it's not exactly a marriage of convenience, it's a marriage to stave off a potential scandal. I usually feel a bit cynical about the flimsiness of the "scandals" that force people i......more

SMITTEN. BLOG || INSTAGRAM ABSOLUTE HEARTTHROB ALERT. I loved Taft so much. He was one of those main characters that sweeps you away with his true and kind gestures along with his assurances straight from his heart. Alexandrina was the other half of this dual POV that was fantastic too. She was jaded a......more
