The Viscount I Must Love: A Forbidden Regency Romance

By Julia Crest

She must marry a man she despises to save her ruined family. But her heart belongs to the one man who will be her ruin.

Lady Arabella Hartley knows her duty.

Her family's reputation is in ashes, and her only path to salvation is a respectable, passionless marriage to the wealthy Lord Charles Caldwell.

It is the sensible choice. And Arabella has resigned herself to a life of duty.

Until he walks into the ballroom.

Lord Edward Wentworth, the Viscount of Waverly. He is brooding, magnetic, and the one man in London she is forbidden to want. He's a dangerous rogue with a scandalous secret, the last man who could ever save her family from ruin.

But one dance changes everything.

A single, stolen moment in a moonlit garden, a forbidden kiss that tastes like sin and salvation, and Arabella's carefully constructed world is set on fire.

Now, she is trapped. Lord Charles is demanding an answer. Her family is demanding her obedience. And Edward's own dark past has returned, threatening to expose their secret and create a new scandal that will destroy them both.

She must choose between her family's survival and the only man who has ever made her feel alive.

The Viscount I Must Love is a steamy, standalone Regency historical romance, perfect for fans of forbidden love, brooding heroes with a secret past, high-stakes scandal, and a guaranteed, hard-won happily-ever-after.
