A forbidden love. A furious guardian. A scandal waiting to happen.
Viscount Ashbourne expected to return from the Continent to a quiet estate and an obedient ward. Instead, he finds Juliet Langley-opinionated, artistic, and absolutely impossible to manage. She's nearly of age, delightfully scandalous, and seems determined to upend every plan he has for her future.
Juliet never asked for a guardian, let alone one so maddeningly handsome and infuriatingly proper. She's ready to embrace spinsterhood, paint in peace, and avoid every simpering suitor the ton has to offer. But when her guardian begins interfering with her courtship-and her heart-she starts to wonder if rebellion is just another word for desire.
He wants to protect her.
She wants to be free.
But propriety is no match for passion. And when temptation simmers into something far more dangerous, one kiss could ruin them both.
A slow-burn Regency romance full of wit, longing, and stolen moments. For fans of guardian/ward tension, clever heroines, and grumpy lords brought low by love.
