Charlotte knows she does everything wrong. The right husband will fix everything: a life of horses, freedom, and a home for Delina. The alternative is unthinkable.
She's so close to success...if Delina isn't swept off her feet first.
Delina can't survive another season in this half-life between friend and companion, cleaning up Charlotte's chaos. Charlotte's marriage will change everything. Why shouldn't Delina find a future for herself?
One more season. Two clashing plans. Until Delina catches the wrong eyes—or exactly the right ones—and both women face a choice neither expected: the predictable life they've been chasing, or something far more dangerous.
Two sharp-tongued women. A lifetime of unspoken truths. And a love neither of them saw coming.
"Lynne has written a scrumptious love story that hits all the right notes. It will appeal to those who like a sprinkling of spice in their books, but also those who want a gentle period piece that features queer love... sensually beautiful build up that will delight the inquisitive reader."

Judith Lynne writes rule-breaking romances with love around every corner. Her characters tend to have deep convictions, electric pleasures, and, sometimes, weaponry.
She loves to write stories where characters are shaken by life, shaken down to their core, put out their hand… and love is there.
A history nerd with too many degrees, Judith Lynne lives in that other paradise, Ohio, with a truly adorable spouse, an apartment-sized domestic jungle, and a misgendered turtle. A past writer of SF and screenplays, she pens Regency romances of love you can believe in, with a rich sense of place and time.
