Description
A Regency Arranged Marriage Romance
When Lady Isabel Ainsworth discovers her father arranged her marriage to a distant cousin to unite two earldoms, she prepares herself for duty. But upon meeting her intended, Lord Thomas Blackwood, she finds him equally opposed to the match. They strike a secret bargain: they’ll present such an obviously ill-suited partnership that both families must dissolve the arrangement. But as they deliberately clash at balls and house parties, their theatrical arguments spark with genuine passion. Isabel’s pulse races every time Thomas leans too close while critiquing her musical performances, and his hands linger too long when he helps her into carriages. By the time they realize their clever plan has backfired, they’ve already ignited gossip they can’t escape – and feelings they don’t want to.
