The Rake of Tamarix Hall: A Regency romance perfect for fans of Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, and Julia Quinn - Hardcover

by Georgina North (Author)

Fans of Pride & Prejudice and Bridgerton will swoon over this delicious slow-burn Regency romance.

Lucius Anselme, the new Marquess of Windmere, visits Tamarix Hall with only one thing on his mind: Set the property to rights and return to London in time to enjoy everything the season has to offer-the theatre, the balls, the women. Of course, that's before he meets Miss Cressida Ambrose. She's clever, beautiful, and just the kind of young lady who might tempt him if he wasn't wholeheartedly opposed to matrimony.

Marriage may be a woman's best chance at a comfortable life, but for Cressida, she'd sooner walk into a lake with pockets full of rocks than be subjected to the whims of a man, especially one as irritating as the new Lord Windmere, who flirts and frustrates her by turn. She's content to fade into spinsterhood, until disaster strikes.

Unfortunately for her, he's the only one who can pull her back from the brink of ruin. And unfortunately for him, helping her means doing the one thing he promised himself he never would.

This sets in motion a Regency romance that's part enemies to lovers, part marriage of convenience, and a whole lot of tension and chemistry.
