Marianne Thistlewayte isn’t against love, were she to feel it, but she is most certainly against her mother’s enthusiastic attempts at matchmaking. When Lord Humphries settles into the estate next door, Marianne is prepared to dash her mother’s hopes yet again.
Lord Humphries is not what Marianne has come to expect from any man, let alone one with a title. His every interaction with her shows he values her slightly eccentric behavior.
But the past has a way of determining the future. A scandal Marianne cannot quite seem to escape creeps forward — and the stronger her feelings for Lord Humphries become, the more Marianne stands to lose.
