Synopsis

Miss Belle Heartstone—heiress and savvy businesswoman—needs a husband. Immediately. As in, yesterday would not have been soon enough. Her mother's attempts at matchmaking have been disastrous. So Belle decides to solve the problem her way—survey the market and purchase the best groom available.

Colin Radcliffe, Marquess of Blake—debt-ridden and penniless—needs a large infusion of cash. Desperately. Preferably cash that does not come with a wife attached. It is no surprise, then, when he receives Miss Heartstone's brazen proposal—her cash, his title, their marriage—that he politely declines.

But before he leaves her, Blake suggests something truly radical: Maybe before finding a husband, Belle should find herself.

His simple words send them both on an unexpected journey, spanning continents and years, entwining their lives in ways neither could have foreseen. Can two lonely souls move past societal expectations and forge a unique life together?

Goodreads review by Deanne on March 05, 2019

The cover is beautiful, it really drew me to the book. Regency romance is so exciting to read about. It's a time of different rules and etiquette than we have now. What is acceptable, what is not? It's such a different time period, the formal ballgowns, the upper class opulence. Reading a book like......more

Goodreads review by Lucinda on November 05, 2018

Loved it so much! I never read the novella so I can't comment on how much she added to this. It's a variation of Daddy Long Legs only so much better and perfect. I read it one sitting. It's straight historical, no paranormal elements in this one, but you don't need them. I reread the last few chapter......more
