Whispers can ruin a lady. A scandal can bind her to the last man she ever expected…
Lady Lisette Hamilton never cared for London’s approval, even after gossip destroyed her reputation and left her future in tatters. Guarding her wounded heart, she vows never to trust love again.
Lord Worthington is everything society noble, honourable, steadfast...and determined to remain a bachelor. Until one reckless, very public moment entangles him in scandal…and forces him and Lisette into a most inconvenient engagement.
What begins as a clever arrangement soon kindles a dangerous attraction. With secrets resurfacing, loyalties fraying, and society’s whispers turning to open condemnation, Lisette must protect what is left of her good name, or risk everything for the one man who really sees her.
Can a match born of necessity become the love they never dared to hope for?
A heartfelt Regency romance filled with fake engagement, high-society scandal, slow-burn longing, and redemption. (Sweet/Clean)
