USA Today Bestseller

New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath pens another richly satisfying romance in her Sins for all Seasons series.

She’s looking for a nobleman to wed…

Though born out of wedlock, Fancy Trewlove is determined to fulfill her mother’s wish that she marry into nobility. Fancy’s keen intellect and finishing school manners make her the perfect wife for any gentleman—if he’s willing to overlook her scandalous lineage. But Fancy’s plans are thrown into chaos when an intriguing commoner begins visiting her bookshop—and she finds herself unable to stop thinking about him.

He’s looking to escape his title…

Widowed just a year ago, the reclusive Matthew Sommersby, Earl of Rosemont, has been besieged by women hoping to become his next wife. Desperate for anonymity, he sheds Society life to search for the peace that eludes him. Fancy’s shop is his one refuge, until the night their passion erupts into a kiss that nearly leads to her ruin—and leaves both longing for much more. 

Together, they discover an unlikely love…

As Fancy finds herself torn between her family’s expectations and her growing feelings for Matthew, secrets are exposed—secrets that force Fancy to question if she can trust her heart’s desire...

Matthew Sommersby and Fancy Trewlove stole my heart! I love how they slowly became friends and then more. (THAT SLOW-BURN!) Their romance had me swooning and feeling all the feels.

Fancy is a wonderful female who owns a book store. And she gives reading classes to children and adults, which I found to be super amazing from her part. She just wants to give back to the people.

Then there's Matthew. My heart ached for him and all he went through. I was glad he had Fancy to help him with his emotions and his pain.

This is a beautiful and heart-warming romance that will have your heart beating out of your chest, but the slow-burn will have you eagerly wanting more and more!
