My Fair Lord (Once Upon a Bride Book 1)

Henrietta, Harriet, and Hero are best friends who have bonded over books since their schooldays. Now these cultured ladies are ready to pursue their own happy endings. Lady Henrietta Parker, daughter of the Earl of Blakemoor, has rejected many suitors, fearing the ton's bachelors are interested only in her wealth. Despite warnings from her friends Harriet and Hero, she accepts a challenge from her stepsister: transform an ordinary London dockworker into a society gentleman fit for the marriage mart. A handshake seals the deal, but Henrietta soon worries she may have gone too far. Jake Bolton is brought from the seaport into Blakemoor House, appearing to be a rough, cockney working man who will receive training in etiquette, wardrobe, and elocution. However, Jake is skilled at deception and has hidden stakes in this arrangement. The question remains whether his secret mission will take precedence over his tutor, her proposal, and the possibility of true love.
