Sutton's Spinster

A shameless London rogue suddenly finds himself guardian to twin daughters and desperately needs a wife—preferably a plain, practical one who won't expect his fidelity or reform. But the universe has a wicked sense of humor, and the woman constantly interfering in his life is Lady Octavia, a dedicated spinster with ambitious dreams of starting her own scandal sheet and absolutely zero interest in marriage, particularly not to an unscrupulous scoundrel like him. As Jasper keeps rescuing Octavia from increasingly dangerous scrapes in the East End and she keeps refusing to stay out of trouble, their fierce banter and undeniable chemistry threaten to upend everything he thought he wanted—and everything she swore she'd never give up. With secrets, meddling families, and some seriously scorching tension between them, this is a delicious enemies-to-lovers romp where a reformed rake has to convince a fierce, independent woman that sometimes the best futures are the ones we never planned for.
