About this ebook
In this sexy, refreshing, and hilarious regency romance, a wanton widow must share her home with an uptight naval captain who is determined to avoid scandal.
1817—Lady Philippa Ellerton, the oldest and boldest of the Bancroft sisters, adores widowhood. She’s been out of mourning and in gentlemen’s beds for the past year, and has no plans to stop. Until her late husband’s title is given over to a war hero, and with it, her beloved London estate.
Henry requires order...
From the moment Captain Henry Hayes walks through the door to find Philippa in a compromising situation with a local vicar, the two are destined to clash. Henry is determined to fulfill his duty, take a wife, and find the man who is threatening to expose his past. All of which would be much easier without the ton's most outrageous—and gorgeous—widow squatting in his house.
But Philippa has no intention of behaving...
As tedious as he is ordinary, nothing could be more delightful than vexing the Captain. Philippa may float through ballrooms and bedrooms with ease, but her freedom has been hard-won. She has no intention of giving up her immaculate townhome to any man, let alone a man who only owns one pair of shoes.
So begins a most inconvenient attraction…
Despite their mutual animosity, they strike a deal: Philippa will find Henry a wife, and he’ll gift her the house—if she curbs her flirtatious ways. But the longer Henry tries to keep society’s most seductive widow under control, the more he wants her under him.
Tropes: Opposites attract / Regency era / Enemies-to-lovers / Grumpy x Sunshine/ "There’s only one house” / Captain x Widow
