Step 1: Find perfect wife.
Step 2: Save reputation from ruin.
Step 3: Do not, at any cost, fall in love with Selina

Peter Kent - newly inherited Duke of Stanhope - must become respectable. Between his radical politics and the time he interrupted a minor royal wedding with a flock of sheep - not his fault! - he's developed a scandalous reputation at odds with his goal of becoming guardian to his half siblings. For help, he turns to the cleverest and most managing woman of his acquaintance, Lady Selina Ravenscroft.

Selina is society's most proper debutante, save one tiny secret: she runs an erotic circulating library for women. When Peter asks for her help, she suggests courtship and marriage to a lady of unimpeachable reputation. (Which is to say, definitely not herself.)

But matchmaking doesn't go according to plan. Peter's siblings run rampant on Bond Street. Selina ends up in the Serpentine. And worst of all, the scorching chemistry between Peter and Selina proves impossible to resist. For the disreputable duke and his unpredictable matchmaker, falling in love just might be the ultimate scandal.©2024 Alexandra Vasti (P)2024 Atlantic Books Ltd & W. F.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book but the male narrator mispronounced every word from ton to beaumonde, including the name of the library (which, like the castle, is spelt Belvoir but pronounced “Beaver”). Very distracting!

Great book, clumsy narration

I love Peter and Selena’s story so much. A little bit of spice, a lot of laughs and delightful chosen family. The male narrator is not my favourite as his pronunciation of a few words is off but doesn’t impact enjoyment of the story.

Delightful regency romance with chosen family
