She never believed in love. He never expected to fall so hard.
Amy, Lady Mowbray, has always been guided by good sense, not girlish dreams. Even her marriage was a practical choice, based more on cattle than kisses. Now widowed, she’s content in the quiet countryside—until the glittering London season throws her back into the path of the man who once set her teenage heart racing. To her shock, the devastatingly handsome Lord Pascal isn’t just polite—he’s pursuing her with alarming determination.
Gervaise Dacre, Lord Pascal, needs a wealthy wife to save his storm-ravaged estate. At first, Lady Mowbray seems the perfect solution: lovely, respectable, and rich. But what begins as a calculated courtship soon turns into something more dangerous. Gervaise finds himself captivated not just by her fortune, but by her wit, spirit, and surprising sensuality.
Yet secrets have a way of surfacing. When Amy learns of his desperate motives, will she turn away from the man who has awakened her long-buried passion? Or will she take the greatest risk of all—and trust her heart to love?
Pursuing Lord Pascal is perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Mary Balogh, and Grace Burrowes. Expect sparkling banter, slow-burn longing, and a Regency romance where practicality collides with irresistible desire.
