Marion Watt is set to embark on her first London Season, and her parents have spared no expense to help her secure a suitable husband. Unlike most of the social-climbing young women in her position, Marion has no desire to marry hastily or for anything less than love. But when she learns of her mother's declining health, she knows she must keep an open mind and allow herself to be courted. What she does not anticipate, however, is that the attentions of the insufferable Lord William Everton will be placed squarely on her. He might be the most sought-after bachelor of the Season, but she sees in him nothing but a frivolous cad.
Until William inherits his father's title and seat in parliament, he must rely on his own devices to change the world. Dressing like a ridiculous dandy serves its purposes, but he is certain his newest disguise will help him find a wife to please his parents and further his own agenda. From among the glittering group of debutantes, William finds only one woman who passes his test. Unfortunately, the perfect choice is the only woman in all of London who despises him.
I loved this book! Marion and William each had their own reasons to get married, and once Marion passed William's "test," he pursued her. Once she agreed, it seemed like smooth sailing from there, but there were trials and complications to get through first. I loved the twists and turns this story took.
Marion and William were easy to fall in love with. Their relationship developed slowly, and their interactions with each other were fun to read. I enjoyed everything about this book--the characters, storyline, and romance. I highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys clean Regency romance and look forward to reading more from this author in the future!
