Perfect for you if...

You enjoy Regency settings with genuine chemistry between flawed characters who've had to survive outside society's rules.
You appreciate slow-burn tension where seduction gradually becomes something neither character expected.
You like protagonists with grit. Ariel isn't a wilting heroine, and Justin isn't a straightforward rake.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a heroine without a complicated past. Ariel's role as the previous earl's mistress is central to the conflict, not a footnote.
You're looking for a plot heavy on external adventure. This is intimate, character-driven drama in a country house setting.
You need your heroes entirely honourable from page one. Justin's ruthlessness and initial cynicism might feel uncomfortable early on.

About this book

An earl's son inherits his late father's estate along with his father's mistress in this Regency romance. Ariel Summers, a tenant farmer's daughter, became the Earl of Greville's mistress to escape poverty, trading her services for education and social refinement. When the earl dies unexpectedly, Ariel finds herself drawn to his bastard son and heir, Justin Ross, despite her circumstances. Justin initially intends to seduce Ariel as payment for her presence in his inherited household. However, her innocent passion awakens emotions he believed long dead. As their relationship deepens, mistrust and betrayal threaten their fragile happiness, forcing Justin to prove to Ariel that he is not the heartless man she perceives him to be.
