“A light, engaging romance with all of the necessary historical trimmings” - Kirkus review
Finalist - American Book Fest Legacy Book Awards - Romance Historical category!
Fiona is a free-spirited young woman who decides to leave her home to escape the unwanted advances of a persistent suitor. She is aware that she must be married before she turns twenty-one to inherit her fortune, but she values her freedom more than her inheritance. Despite her plans, she finds herself seeking refuge in the home of her brother's enemy after a mishap. The homeowner, Phillip, is the Earl of Sheffield, and he is known for his reputation as a rake. However, Fiona is intrigued by how he defies society's expectations.
Phillip, on the other hand, is haunted by his past and is hesitant to host the impulsive young lady who arrives at his doorstep. Although they are attracted to each other, their conscience keeps them apart. In polite regency society, marrying a man with Phillip's tarnished reputation is not acceptable.
As their affection for one another deepens, Fiona and Phillip must find a way to break free from society's oppressive expectations to start a life together. Will they be able to find a way, or will Fiona be forced into a loveless marriage?
Historical fiction laced with romance!

Virtual Voice
The story was pretty good but the performance was crap. The virtual voice has no expression and mispronounces many words. I will not be purchasing any audiobooks using virtual voice.

Cute story
Like the story. Confused as why this author refers to mothers as parent. Virtual narrator is ok, not great but better than some humans.

No Editing? stupid plot. no steam
0 steam, excessive duels, SO MANY mispronounced words: she moped became mo-ped like scooter, beaus was bows (greeting bent at the waist) and a dozen more. Are these books not listen to by an editor before going public?

Virtual Voice is Annoyingly Terrible!
VERY disappointed that Virtual Voice was used. Talented human readers ALWAYS should be employed to read. Shameful to use Virtual Voice instead of employing a talented reader. The author and listeners deserve a human reader— not Virtual Voice!!! Had I known Virtual Voice was used, I wouldn’t have purchased this Audible title!!!
