Author Book List

A Regency high society, forbidden love romance

Finding a husband…

For the bride he craves!

When Maxim becomes the Earl of Sherborne, he’s stunned to find that his late father’s ward, Louisa Ashworth, has blossomed in his absence. Maxim cannot afford to notice Louisa’s captivating beauty, nor her sharp wit, as he is already betrothed to clear his family’s debts. And it is now his obligation to find Louisa a match…

Headstrong Louisa is determined to marry for love, but the suitors vying for her fortune cannot compete with Maxim, who she’s pined for since girlhood. Yet as the Season begins, a forbidden temptation flares between Louisa and the man who is supposed to find her a husband!
