About this ebook
A slow burn, high society Victorian romance
The lady who would not be wed…
A rogue to break her rules?
Lady Meridith Downs longs to be married. She’s just determined it won’t be to any of the “suitable” (read: stifling) suitors her family have picked out! True love should feel like an adventure, and Meridith would rather be a spinster than settle for less.
Enter Captain Drake Taylor. More at home at sea than in Society, Drake’s roguish reputation should send any sensible lady running. Instead, his teasing charm awakens desires Meridith can’t ignore. But actually falling for a man who won’t be tied down might be an adventure too far…

This is the second in "Brides for Sworn Bachelors" and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this story. It is a tender and heartwarming story about Meredith and Drake. Captain Drake is trying to form a partnership with the Peter, Duke of Chesterfield. Peter invites him to a party where Drake and Meredith are introduced. Neither wanting to be there. They are thrust into each other lives again and again but it is Hugo that brings them closer. I love the characters! This is such a good read from
