Perfect for you if...

You enjoy Regency romance with multiple perspectives and competing stakes that somehow resolve into genuine warmth.
You appreciate witty banter and fast pacing over lengthy internal monologues or heavy angst.
You like stories where flawed characters (including the antagonist) get genuine character arcs and redemption.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a straightforward love story centred on a single couple rather than interwoven plots with multiple romantic threads.
You prefer darker historical fiction or romances with serious consequences that don't resolve neatly by the final page.
You find kidnapping plots uncomfortable, even when played for comedic effect and redemption.

About this book

Joseph Harwood has seven days to find a bride and inherit his deceased uncle's estate. Failure means financial ruin and social disgrace. He intends to marry Lady Rebecca, but his heart is drawn to her cousin Gwen, who is unavailable to him. Harwood's cousin Claude faces his own crisis: he has seven days to stop Harwood's marriage and claim the inheritance he expected. Without it, he cannot repay his substantial debts and faces servitude or death. Claude plans to kidnap Lady Rebecca, but falls in love with her in the process. Unknown to both cousins, Claude's creditor also wants the estate and will pursue it by any means necessary. Set in 1809 England, this Regency romance follows multiple interconnected storylines as desperate circumstances drive the characters toward love, ruin, and redemption. The narrative resolves within the week as the terms of the will take effect.
