USA Today bestseller Lenora Bell returns to her Wallflowers vs. Rogues series with a romance between a lady and the scoundrel claiming to be next-in-line for her father’s title.
Lady Henrietta Prince is far too busy for romance. She's dedicated her life to turning her family vineyards into a profitable sparkling wine venture. But when she shares a thrilling kiss at midnight with a handsome stranger, she's captivated...until he claims to be the distant heir to her father's dukedom.
Ash Ellis is a gambler who lives life on the edge. Now he's locked his sights on a glittering prize and nothing will stand in his way.
When Henrietta is forced to marry the wicked rogue to keep her beloved vineyards, she vows that Ash will never have her trust, or her love. Even if his kisses are more intoxicating than the finest champagne.
His new bride is certainly beautiful, but biddable? Not so much. Ash will settle for nothing less than Henrietta's total surrender...but is he the one in danger of losing his heart?
Also available in audiobook.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rounded up to 4.5 stars
I really enjoyed Hetty and Ash. From the first meeting until the very end I loved their push and pull relationship. And for a moment in the first chapter, I almost didn't like Hetty. Thankfully that turned around. I also enjoyed how clueless they both were about their feelings for one another.
While trying to arrange a match for her father, Lady Henrietta Prince is approached by a handsome man asking for a dance. Later in the evening, they share a kiss. She finds herself charmed by him but that quickly changes when he reveals that he is a distant heir to her father's earldom.
Hetty is determined to turn her vineyards into a successful business. And she has no plans to let him derail her.
Ash Ellis has great plans he'd like to fulfill when he takes over the earldom. And he knows just how to builds its coffers back up again.
When her father suggests they marry, they are both against the idea. But the more Hetty thinks about it, she might be able to make this work in her favor. She makes a set of rules they must follow but the more time they spend together the more they lose their hearts to one another.
Thanks so much to Avon and the author for this ARC to review.
