The Wallflower's Rescue: Scandal at Heatherdown Hall Book 2 (A sweet Regency romance)

By Brenda Wyatt

With her eldest sister now married, Lady Beatrice Channing is responsible for raising her younger sisters and protecting her family's name from further scandal. Dreaming of spinsterhood and facing an uncle urging her toward a match with a controlling suitor, Beatrice will do anything to avoid it. Desperate, she concocts a story and pens a false letter to the local paper, claiming to have shared an illicit kiss with a masked stranger at a recent masquerade ball. The scandal grants her the reprieve she needs, until a handsome stranger arrives at her doorstep.

Lord Sebastian Northcott is nearly ruined. With creditors circling and his estate crumbling, he is out of time and out of options. Then he reads the local paper and seizes on a wild plan: present himself as the mysterious man from the masquerade ball and propose a respectable courtship to repair her honor. Sebastian arrives at Heatherdown expecting a quiet girl caught in scandal and grateful for rescue. What he finds is Beatrice, who is beautiful, sharp, and already several steps ahead of him.

Beatrice sees their fake courtship as a chance to avoid marriage and slip quietly into spinsterhood. But the longer she maintains the ruse, the more the lines begin to blur. What began as strategy starts to feel like something far more complicated: wanting more. As past secrets surface and a vengeful suitor closes in, Beatrice must decide how much of her heart she is willing to risk, and whether love can endure the secrets between them.

Perfect for readers who love:
- Fake courtships with real consequences
- Stubborn heroines with too much to lose
- Desperate noblemen with secrets to keep
- A slow burn with sharp edges and tender moments

Fans of Evie Dunmore, Tessa Dare, and Julia Quinn will fall in love with Beatrice and Sebastian in this heartfelt Regency romance.
