Meet Sinjun Sherbrooke at nineteen—witty, spirited, and absolutely determined to shake up her boring London Season when she spots the brooding Scottish earl Colin Kinross across a ballroom. When she overhears his desperate need for a wealthy bride, the mischievous heiress sees her chance and boldly introduces herself, setting off a chain of events that leads to a scandalous elopement to his drafty Scottish castle. What unfolds is a delightful adventure filled with secrets, surprises, and the kind of humor that makes you adore a heroine who knows exactly what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. Fair warning: this book features not one but two spirited women ready to upend everything, a moody earl who doesn't stand a chance against Sinjun's charm, and the kind of Regency romance that'll have you grinning from start to finish.
