Sense and Suitability: A sweet Regency, enemies-to-lovers rom-com

Emmeline Lockhart has sworn off love after two failed social seasons and a painful rejection by Simon Reeves, a charming man who disappeared from her life without explanation. She has found independence through a scandalous secret profession as an anonymous author, allowing her to support herself without needing marriage. When Simon's estate falls into financial ruin due to his family's gambling debts and his younger siblings spiral out of control, he desperately needs both a wealthy bride and a friend. Emmeline agrees to help him find a suitable match and restore his reputation, determined to keep their relationship strictly platonic. However, the chemistry between them remains undeniable, and Emmeline struggles to assist in his courtship while protecting her own heart. This Regency romance features witty banter, secondary characters including children and a frog named Blast, and explores whether a messy, complicated love story deserves a second chance. It is written as a low-spice, second-chance enemies-to-lovers narrative with an Austenesque tone.
