Adrian, Marquess of Thornleigh, is tired of being hunted by every matchmaking mother in London. Henrietta Alderton is too busy managing her headstrong younger sister to waste time on a Season of her own. A sham engagement solves both problems, until Lydia is abducted by a fortune-hunter bent on taking her north to Gretna. Adrian and Henrietta abandon their performance and ride together in pursuit.

The rescue draws out tenderness neither expected, but when their false engagement is exposed, Henrietta retreats, convinced Adrian wants only gratitude and convenience. To win her, the Marquess must prove that the pretend affection he displayed before the ton has become the one truth he cannot live without.

Book Two of The Season of Scoundrels by Charlotte Wyndham, a clean Regency romance series of pure escapism, featuring independent yet innocent heroines who cross paths with brooding heroes. This sweet romance delivers an agonizingly slow-burn love story where old-school restraint barely masks a simmering, electric tension, making every accidental touch feel like a lightning strike**.**
