Lady Helen's Misalliance
(2024)(The second book in the Season of Love series)
A novel by Jessica Spencer
Clean Regency Romance: What is a lady to do when the man she loves is determined to sacrifice their love for honor?
Lady Helen is not overly concerned that she is only passably pretty and not likely to attract
many suitors during her London Season. Only a shallow man would choose his wife for her
looks. She wants a husband who is likable and worthy of respect, possesses a good
character, and has a pleasant disposition.
When a handsome stranger saves Helen from a near accident, she cannot stop thinking about
him. He is like a dashing hero from a medieval tale gallantly rescuing a maiden in danger.
Mr. Luke Turner is what the ton contemptuously refers to as a Cit. His wealth and
upbringing can give him entry into London Society but not make a match with a young lady
of birth.
Not that Luke desires a connection with the ton. His years at Eton and Oxford have taught
him that the social divide between his world and that of the nobs is insurmountable. And yet,
he is unable to stop worrying about Lady Helen. There is something fragile about her,
something waif-like, that tugs at his heart.
Helen knows that Luke is the only man she can marry. He is kind and gentle and makes her
feel comfortable about herself. He loves her, she knows he does, but is adamant about
keeping his distance for fear of endangering her place in Society.
When the notorious Lord Frampton fixes his sights on Helen, Luke is the only one she can trust. Will he put aside his scruples to keep her safe?
From the book:
“You are full of questions,” Luke said, his tone light. “I shall try to answer them. I believe in love, and I may be in love with someone. I also believe love calls for sacrifice. I’m willing to sacrifice my future happiness to protect the woman I love. Your father is not in good health. Given a choice, what will you sacrifice? His health or your happiness?”
Helen did not say anything. Luke had decided. He loved her but would not jeopardize her place in Society. It was admirable but hurt all the same.
