Calvin, Earl of Carlyle, is spending the season focused on finding his younger sister a good match. And if he's noticing his land steward's uncommon cheekbones and full lower lip Well, that's easy enough to ignore. The man is competent beyond measure. But when Cal discovers that "he" is a "she," his interest turns to romance.Ophelia Hardwick has spent the last decade living as a boy. As Adam, she doesn't have to worry about being forced into an arranged marriage by her uncle. Pretending she doesn't have a crush on Cal is a small price to pay for being able to hide in plain sight. But when he discovers her secret, he puts not just her heart--but her life--in danger. Because Phee's uncle has been looking for her for ten years, and he won't stop until he finds her."A beautiful tale that weaves second chances, genuine characters, and heartfelt emotion into a satisfying happily-ever-after."--Kelly Bowen on Any Rogue Will Do
"Everything I adore in a Regency--wit, steam, and heart!"--Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author
"In [a] splendid Regency-set debut . . . Bennett turns a spotlight on the class distinctions and gender restrictions of 1819 England, with a formidable leading lady and a swoon-worthy hero with lower-class roots. Filled with gripping drama, strong characters, and steamy seduction, this tantalizing story is sure to win the hearts of Regency fans."--Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Any Rogue Will Do
"Delicious, sexy fun."--BookPage, starred review
"Packed with disguises, debts, and debutantes, this delightful Regency does not disappoint."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
Bethany Bennett grew up in a small fishing village in Alaska where required learning included life skills like cold-water survival, along with several other subjects that are utterly useless as a romance writer. Eventually settling in the Northwest with her real-life hero and two children, she enjoys mountain views from the comfort of her sofa, wearing a tremendous amount of flannel, and drinking more coffee than her doctor deems wise.
