Perfect for you if...

You love second-chance romance where both characters have unfinished business and real reasons to doubt each other's intentions.
You enjoy Regency settings with a bit of scheming and deception that creates genuine tension rather than just misunderstanding.
You appreciate heroes who've been hurt by class prejudice and are actively trying to protect themselves, even if their plan is doomed.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your hero to be fully honest from page one. The central premise is built on Drake lying to Honoria, so this won't work for you.
You prefer slow burns where the couple doesn't realise they're in love. This one hinges on Drake knowing exactly what he feels.
You want complex secondary characters and intricate family dynamics. The focus stays tight on the central romance.

About this book

Lady Honoria Bell has abandoned hopes of marriage after a broken heart, deflecting suitors her father presents. When news arrives of a house party hosted by the newly titled Duke of Burwood, her father's interest in finding her a match is renewed. Yet Honoria knows no one can fill the void left by Drake Merrick. Drake Merrick, now the Duke of Burwood, believes aristocratic women value titles over love—a lesson learned when he lost his love while working as a groom. Determined to find a bride who wants him rather than his position, he devises a plan to switch places with his man of business and test the debutantes' true intentions. When Honoria arrives at the house party, Drake's plan unravels. He realizes his heart remains hers. Now he must navigate whether his deception will allow her to prove her love, or whether his lies will destroy it.
