It's every Regency woman's duty to find a suitable husband. Failing that, she must seem as marriageable as possible to the first gentleman who deigns to look at her. For the wilful, hapless, thoroughly inept group of ladies determined to find husbands this Season, being conventionally marriageable may very well be beyond them - but then, true love doesn't always follow convention...
Violet Dell is invisible. Fading into the background has been her preferred way of navigating the ton for most of her life, and she's grown accustomed to it - just as she's grown accustomed to losing herself in new pastimes and intellectual pursuits rather than risking her dignity by talking to new people. But now that one of her closest friends is happily married, displaying a contentment that Violet can barely imagine, it seems clear that seeking a husband might lead to a valuable increase in her happiness.
In order to have romantic success, though, she'll need to become a little more worldly. Fortunately for Violet, there's a notorious rake in her wider social circle: William Delacorte, whose powers of seduction are only surpassed by his ability to move from woman to woman without losing his heart. Asking for lessons in worldliness from him will give Violet more confidence when it comes to seeking a genuine suitor, or so she thinks - but has she prepared herself enough?
The last thing William Delacorte wants is to teach Violet Dell about romance. Not because he finds her unattractive - quite the opposite. Delacorte has had a soft spot for Miss Dell ever since he was first introduced to her, and has ferociously guarded his famously cold heart ever since by ignoring her as thoroughly as possible. But Violet asks him so very politely - so politely that Delacorte can't help but surrender.
Passion springs up with a potency that neither Violet nor Delacorte are expecting. Violet finds new-found confidence, while Delacorte finds his very sense of self at risk. The most famous rake in London can't lose his heart to the ton's invisible woman... or can he?
Lose yourself in this deliciously sensual slice of Regency escapism by Felicia Greene, the queen of quick-read romance novellas. With tortured dukes, teasing heroines and attraction that defies all decorum, these brief but beautiful tales will make any spare hour fly by!
This book is the second standalone in the Husband Hunters series, with plenty of faces from Book One popping up. If you like misadventures, forbidden attraction and love that defies all odds, you'll love these quick, steamy Regency reads!
