(The first book in the Husband Hunters series)
A Novella by

 
 
It's every Regency woman's duty to find a suitable husband. Failing that, she must seem as marriageable as possible to the first gentleman who deigns to look at her. For the wilful, hapless, thoroughly inept group of ladies determined to find husbands this Season, being conventionally marriageable may very well be beyond them - but then, true love doesn't always follow convention...

Daisy Hargreaves has failed at the marriage game before she's even truly begun. After a disastrous decision leads to ballroom chaos and the severe displeasure of the handsome but arrogant Duke of Northolt, Daisy's social ruin seems assured... until the duke's uncle, ostensibly bored of his nephew's attitude, forces both Daisy and Northolt to collaborate on a thankless administrative task in the name of maintaining harmony.

Northolt, the most icily fashionable man in England, can't believe he's agreed to his uncle's foolish request. Neither can he believe that after only a short time spent with Miss Hargreaves, he's beginning to feel quite thoroughly unfashionable urges. When the crackling tension between them finally explodes, the resulting rush of sentiment leaves Northolt questioning everything about himself and the life he's chosen.

Daisy has proved to all and sundry that she's incapable of being a socially acceptable bride. Northolt is so hemmed in by propriety that even the slightest change would threaten everything he's worked for. But sometimes life gives us exactly what we need, even when we least expect it - and Daisy and Northolt must realise that what they need above all things is each other.

Lose yourself in this deliciously sensual slice of Regency escapism by Felicia Greene, the queen of quick-read romance novellas. With tortured dukes, teasing heroines and attraction that defies all decorum, these brief but beautiful tales will make any spare hour fly by!
This book is the first standalone in the Husband Hunters series. If you like misadventures, forbidden attraction and love that defies all odds, you'll love these quick, steamy Regency reads!
