They call them the Weatherby Wallflowers…
After her mother's death, Eleanor Weatherby has had a hard enough time shepherding her three younger sisters through the world and running her father's household on a shoestring budget. But now her father, an eccentric naturalist who has always shown more interest in birds and beetles than his own flesh and blood, has sold their home so he could afford passage on an exploratory voyage around the world! Suddenly the four sisters dubbed the Weatherby Wallflowers don't even have a roof over their heads.
Their only chance…
Eleanor somehow manages to secure an invitation to the Countess of Milthorpe's house party, which buys them two weeks of shelter. Eleanor is firmly on the shelf, but her youngest sister, Philippa, manages to catch the eye of Felix St. James, younger brother of the Duke of Norwood. If Pippa can bring Felix up to scratch, it will draw them back from the brink of destitution.
The man standing in their way…
There's only one problem—Jasper St. James, the Duke of Norwood. He immediately marked Pippa as an upstart miss who was only after his brother's fortune. Jasper vows that he won't let Felix out of his sight. But at every turn he is foiled by Eleanor Weatherby, who seems as determined to promote the match as Jasper is to prevent it.
As Jasper and Eleanor match wits, he discovers that she is impertinent, imperious… and impossible to resist. It turns out that sparring with a headstrong wallflower is more to this stern duke's taste than the milquetoast maidens he was considering for his bride at the start of the house party. Maybe one of the Weatherby Wallflowers will be marrying into the St. James family after all… if Jasper hasn't already ruined everything.
A Wallflower Never Surrenders is a steamy, comedic Regency Romance. It was a finalist for the 2025 HOLT Medallion Award for Best Historical Romance, alongside Book 2 in the Weatherby Wallflowers series, Snowbound with the Scoundrel, which took home the award. Please be advised that it features open-door love scenes.

There is a thin line between love & loathing
We have Eleanor Weatheraby and Jasper St James the Duke of Norwood who are more alike than different! They share a fierce protectiveness of family and siblings and had responsibilities at very young age! Eleanor at only age 7 and Jasper as a teenager! When Eleanor’s worthless father sells their only home and gives them to weeks to find husbands or positions or be homeless!
It is unconscionable 4 young lovely women without a home or dowries!
When Eleanor manages to get them invited to a house party there’s nothing be very senior Baron seeking a bride! Each of them has a chance of catching his eye! But Pippa has caught Felix eye and he is the younger brother of Jasper!
Jasper of course sees Pippa without knowing her as a scheming baggage destined to trap his impressionable younger brother!
Let the games begin: Jasper and Eleanor go toe to toe on anything and everything! They both love Shakespeare and love to be right about everything! Pippa is totally guileless and tells all the family business in one swoop of meeting Felix!
There is a thin line between love and loathing and there is some laugh out loud moments between Eleanor and Jasper! This was a page turner and could not put it down! Love the series and the sisters! Bravo!
