Amelia A Heart's Burden: A Sweet Regency Romance (The Defiant Ladies of London)

By Kerri Kastle

At the pinnacle of coupling season in Regency London, twenty-one-year-old Amelia Edgerton nurtures a potentially scandalous secret: she doesn't believe in love. Despite several marital arrangements initiated by her father, she manages to weasel out of incoming proposals through a combination of scheming, purposeful misunderstandings, and harmless pranks courtesy of her mischievous younger twin brothers. Quiet and seemingly reserved, Amelia plans to someday live out the rest of her life alone in a cozy cottage surrounded by her books. When a certain man steps into the picture, the chances of her dream coming true begin to slip away... Fred 'Freddie' Howard is a man of sensibility and honor. When his father requests that he marry a certain lady, a decision backed by logic and sentiment, Fred agrees. He is certain Amelia will make a good bride and is determined not to let his father down. However, upon arriving at the Edgerton household, Fred realizes his goal might not be as easy to achieve. Amelia is not as meek and subtle as the prevailing narrative has made her out to be. Not only is she deeply opinionated and headstrong, but she is also determined to block his efforts at every turn. Not one to give up easily, Fred resolves to change her mind. However, he soon finds his typically logical self becoming overcome by emotional inclinations... Can the question of love's authenticity truly be answered? Or will the prejudices prove too deeply rooted to change?
