Eight Rules For Engagement

Who knew unearthing the mysteries of the past could be so…scintillating… 


Husband hunting was far from Odette Marsden’s mind. She had much more important pursuits, like discovering Selbourne Castle's ancient secrets and making a name for herself as an antiquarian in a male-dominated world, but she couldn’t refuse a house party given in her honor.


Leopold Seyburn was on his way to becoming one of England’s premier antiquarians, but before leaving on his next quest, he wanted to enjoy a relaxing house party at the invitation of an old friend. Or so he thought. Now he’s stuck in a castle with nine marriage-minded women, except one. Odette Marsden is more interested in his antiquarian expertise than his bachelor status.


Dark tunnels, secret passages, damp caves… The closer they come to Selbourne’s secrets, the more Odette’s own hidden desires come to light. But marriage between them would never work, she’d be left behind while he traveled the world, and Odette fears that as his wife, she’d live in the shadows of his accomplishments and never be respected for her own.

Can Odette and Leo bridge the gap between love and ambition or is happily ever after one treasure they won’t be able to find?
