About this book

Four wallflower friends make a pact to snag husbands—and Annabelle Peyton needs one desperately, though preferably not the infuriatingly charming Simon Hunt, who keeps trying to make her his mistress instead. What starts as a battle of wills between this proud, beautiful woman and the ambitious, devastatingly seductive entrepreneur becomes something neither of them expected: a genuine, all-consuming love. But as their feelings deepen and walls come down, Annabelle discovers that her greatest challenge won't be resisting Simon's wicked charm—it's protecting everything they're building together from the shadows threatening to tear it all apart.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
yearningsensualtension-filledpassionateintoxicating

Sultry Regency-era romance with tension and yearning. Think lush orchestral strings meets sensual indie folk—Hozier, Florence + The Machine, The National. Slow-burn passion, stolen glances, and the electric pull of forbidden desire. Candlelit ballrooms and whispered confessions.
