Sir Hugo Seeks a Wife
(2025)(The first book in the Cinderellas of Mayfair series)
A novel by Anna Campbell
A witty and sensual Regency romance as luscious as the treats from Sweet Little Nothings, Mayfair’s favorite bonbon shop.
Clever, independent Aphrodite de Smith earns a meager living, scratching out verses to accompany boxes of bonbons that gentlemen send to the ladies they’re courting. However lonely this life may be, it allows her to hide from her scandalous past. But what happens when one of those gentlemen decides that the poetess is a beauty ripe for wooing?
Forthright Yorkshire farmer Sir Hugo Brinsmead comes to London to find a bride among the beau monde. Except the woman who takes his fancy isn’t a society belle. Instead, she works at a fashionable sweet shop. Not to mention she’s as full of secrets as his broad acres are full of prize sheep.
Aphrodite might reject the handsome baronet’s proposals – for his own good! – but she can’t resist the searing desire that flares between them. When she offers Hugo a temporary affair, he agrees against his better judgment. He wants a wife, not a mistress. Yet even as their passion blazes, shadows from the past threaten their union. Can the gallant baronet convince his headstrong lady to defy the world and seize a happy ending?
