Fans of the traditional Regency Romances of Georgette Heyer, Barbara Metzger, and Jo Beverley will enjoy this witty, entertaining romance from New York Times bestselling author Candice Hern. Meg Ashurton was a disaster during her first London Season. Skinny, red-haired, and 6-feet tall, the awkward wallflower was out of her depth in the social whirl. She was overlooked or ignored by everyone. Except for one man. The dazzling Lord Sedgewick had danced with her, and she had secretly fallen in love with him.
Since then Meg has blossomed into a statuesque beauty. In a more startling turnabout, Lord Sedgewick is now at her mercy as he recovers from a carriage accident in Meg's country manor. While his broken leg keeps him bed-ridden, she could revel in his captivating company, and his irresistible smile, without the chance of him walking away. All too soon, though, he would be on his feet again, and able once more to take Meg in his arms, and this time not to dance. She is more than ready to succumb to this second chance at love with him. But when he finally makes her an offer, it is not the sort that Meg can accept. Or can she?
From a famous stud farm in the Suffolk countryside to the ballrooms of London, Regency England comes alive in this charming romance.
"Ms. Hern exquisitely develops her appealing love story with richly textured characterizations and impeccable craftsmanship."
