Pursuit at Point of Release
Rafe Fitz-Stephens lives a charmed life: good friends, loving family, academic success, and exclusive membership in the Vitruvian Society, a gentleman's sporting club. When the annual village competition calls him home from London, he's ready for a hero's welcome--after all, there is no one better to win the games than a well-trained Corinthian. If only his training had included how to avoid tripping into a leg-shackle.
Genevieve Slade dreams of a stable home with a stable gentleman, stable friends, and, perhaps, a stable. Her father, however wealthy, moves his family from manor to manor, living as veritable gypsies to escape that horrifying word no one in the Slade household dares utter: responsibility. As she settles into yet another new home in yet another new village, both dreams and disposition are shaken when a madcap stranger tumbles, literally, through her bedchamber window.
Join Rafe and Genevieve as these enemies-of-circumstance race to break the betrothal before either stumbles headlong in love with the other.
Genre: historical romantic comedy, Regency
Sweetness: sweet romance, courtship, clean language
Tropes: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, village/small town setting, alpha hero, obstinate and headstrong heroine, sporting events, opposites attract, compromised
