About this listen
One man with a secret. A family torn apart by the consequences.
The Earl of Rennington’s daughter, Lady Isabel, has done well for herself. Married for five years to an indulgent viscount, with two small daughters, she lives her life in the centre of a social whirl, respected and admired for her beauty, her elegance and her liveliness. But her liveliness sometimes spills over into stormy rows with her staid husband, and she grieves that she’s failed in her primary duty — to provide him with an heir. Her marriage isn’t quite what she’d hoped for. So when disaster cuts her adrift, she wonders what her life might have been like, had she made a different choice.
Ian, Viscount Farramont, is a down-to-earth man, but he’s adored Izzy since the moment he first saw her. He won her hand against tough competition, and when he fears he might lose her for good, he sets out to do whatever it takes to win her back. But even if he succeeds, can he ever win her heart, or is he just too dull to inspire love in his vivacious wife?
This is a complete story with a happy ever after. A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom. Book 3 of a 6 book series.

Story
Caroline Gray’s third season in London society ends as badly as her first two - no marriage proposal, no suitor, not even a glimmer of an interested prospect. She suspects it’s because she is far too quick to speak her mind to men who are put off by her opinions, her intellect, and her unconventional ideas. Besides, Caroline thinks there will always be next season to find a husband. However, her family’s dwindling income leaves Caroline with only one choice to secure her future: a one-way ticket to sail with the fishing fleet to India, where the son of a family friend waits.

At eighteen, Emmeline Ballentine’s father splashed out on one London season to introduce his daughter to polite society.

Consequently, her dreams were dashed, when at the close of the season, Jeremy announced his engagement to another.
