Description

She accuses him of being a rake. He accuses her of being a hoyden angling for a title.
The Vicar accuses them both of impropriety.

A slow burn, enemies to lovers, tale.

Miss Katherine Westlake wants to dance in London, but her father can't afford the expense of a Season, so he sends her on holiday to Northwickshire.
Katherine, escaping her impending marriage, hopes her cousin, Anne Albright Ingram will have some sage advice…knowing Anne, this is highly unlikely.

Lord William Spenser is the steady one in the Northwickshire circle of bachelors. Guardian to his two younger sisters and heir to his uncle's title and lands, London doesn't really interest him.
In a totally explainable accident, Katherine is inadvertently ruined and William takes responsibility.

Events soon roll out of control.
Gossip runs wild.
The vicar sees the whole improbable mess as a way to get his wayward flock back under his control.

Add in hijinks and hilarity for a wild Regency romp.
Mayhem ensues until Katherine and William find that perhaps fate was wiser than both of them.

Isabella Thorne's smart and independent heroines and honorable gentlemen illuminate one of the most fascinating eras of English history, the Regency, when drawing rooms sparkled with witty dialogue and well-dressed nobility engaged in romantic intrigues.

Prepare to be delighted by this sweet tale.
