The Duke’s Convenient Wallflower: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Spinsters and Lords Book 6)

Tell me the truth, Cecily. After four Seasons of being unnoticed by every gentleman in England, do you truly believe a fifth will be any different?

Cecily could not tell her sister the truth, because the truth was that Theodora Davies had been overlooked so completely, for so many years, that all of London had quite forgotten she existed, until the afternoon a startled horse in Hyde Park sent her stumbling, mortified and blushing, straight into the arms of the most pursued Duke in England.

Edison Cavendish, Duke of Westmere, has spent fifteen years being hunted by every ambitious mother in London, and beneath the marble the ton calls icy lives a man who has not been truly seen by a single soul in his entire adult life. He should release this blushing stranger and walk away, yet for the first time in years someone has looked up at him without seeing the title, and he finds that he cannot.

He offers her an arrangement that seems perfectly sensible, a pretend courtship for the Season to spare them both, with an end agreed upon before it has even begun. What neither of them counted on was how dangerous it becomes to pretend, when the woman who has spent her whole life being unseen is finally, properly, attentively looked at, by the only man in England who has been waiting just as long to be seen in return.

But the gossip columns are sharpening their pens, and when the truth of their pretend courtship comes out, only one of them will have the courage to admit they were never pretending at all.

A clean, slow-burn Regency romance about a wallflower the world had forgotten, a duke the world had never known, and the quiet ordinary miracle of being seen at last by exactly the right person.

No cliffhanger. Guaranteed happily ever after.
