Publisher Description
If you love Julia Quinn's Bridgerton, you'll adore Ashlyn Macnamara's captivating Regency tale which proves that two hearts are better than one. Perfect for fans of Lisa Kleypas, Sabrina Jeffries and Eloisa James.
Years ago, Isabelle Mears surrendered her innocence to a dishonourable man. Cast out from society, she cares only to shelter her illegitimate son Jack. So Isabelle is unprepared for the deep longing that rips through her when a handsome stranger rescues her rambunctious six year old from the pounding ocean surf.
George Upperton is a man in trouble with debts, women and a meddling family. He is the last gentleman on earth Isabelle should be drawn to - even as her caution gives way to desire. But only when Jack is kidnapped does Isabelle discover the true depth of his devotion - and how far a good man will go to fight for the woman whose love is all that matters.
Don't miss Ashlyn Macnamara's witty, romantic debut, A Most Scandalous Proposal.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Macnamara's follow-up to A Most Scandalous Proposal proves that reformed rogues make the best husbands. In Regency-era London, George Upperton has just discovered that his mistress is pregnant with his child. Without the financial means to comply with her outrageous demands, George decides to avoid the situation and attend a house party with his mother in Kent. There he makes the acquaintance of Miss Isabelle Mears after rescuing her young son, Jack, from the clutches of the sea. George admires Isabelle's pluck and fortitude as a woman of noble birth who was cast out by her family when she became pregnant with Jack out of wedlock. He's reluctant to pursue her, as he can't marry her and doesn't want to compromise her, but when Jack goes missing, George offers Isabelle unstinting support as she stoically swallows her pride and begs help from the manor house. As they search for Jack, Isabelle's beauty and resilience shine, and she proves to George that he is a much better man than he believes. This touchingly romantic and effortlessly plotted historical is a gem to be savored.
