Wilde in Love When Lord Alaric Wilde returns home after years abroad, he's absolutely gobsmacked to discover he's become England's most notorious heartthrob—complete with screaming mobs and tabloid scandals he knows nothing about. His escape to the countryside leads him straight to the refreshingly candid Miss Willa Ffynche, a woman who sees right through his celebrated facade and wants absolutely nothing to do with him. But Alaric has met his match in this witty, private woman who refuses to fall for his charm, and suddenly his greatest adventure isn't about conquering the world—it's about winning over one brilliantly stubborn lady. Perfect for readers who love banter-filled romances with genuine spark and characters who make each other better.
Reading soundtrack
A witty, slow-burn romance wrapped in regency charm and hidden vulnerability. Blend indie folk tenderness with orchestral elegance—think acoustic intimacy meets lush strings. Sultry vocal performances capture the tension between guarded hearts and irresistible chemistry. Moody, romantic, and rich with unspoken longing.
