Perfect for you if...

You love Regency romance with real chemistry and banter, where the hero has to actually earn his happy ending rather than charm his way there.
You're drawn to second-chance stories and widows who've found their backbone, especially ones who don't fall for a pretty face.
You appreciate a rake with genuine depth beneath the theatrics, especially one humbled by amnesia and forced self-reflection.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your Regency heroines to be overwhelmed by the hero's magnetism from page one.
You want fast-paced intrigue or mystery; this is character-driven romance with a slower burn.
You're looking for dark or morally grey characters; Olivia is genuinely principled and Harry's core decency shines through his foolishness.

About this book

Sir Harry Collyns, a popular figure in society, creates scandal when he poses for a statue sculpted by a female artist, drawing crowds of onlookers. Seeking to escape the controversy, he leaves for the country but suffers a near-fatal curricle accident. During his recovery, Harry discovers that the widow caring for him—Olivia St. Clair—is neither elderly nor as gentle as her voice suggests. She is a principled woman unimpressed by his reputation and charm. Despite his injury, Harry finds himself falling in love with her, only to realize she may be the one woman in England resistant to his attempts to win her affection.
