Publisher's Summary

New York Times best-selling author Lorraine Heath pens another richly satisfying romance in her Sins for all Seasons series.

She’s looking for a nobleman to wed....

Though born out of wedlock, Fancy Trewlove is determined to fulfill her mother’s wish that she marry into nobility. Fancy’s keen intellect and finishing school manners make her the perfect wife for any gentleman - if he’s willing to overlook her scandalous lineage. But Fancy’s plans are thrown into chaos when an intriguing commoner begins visiting her bookshop - and she finds herself unable to stop thinking about him.

He’s looking to escape his title....

Widowed just a year ago, the reclusive Matthew Sommersby, Earl of Rosemont, has been besieged by women hoping to become his next wife. Desperate for anonymity, he sheds Society life to search for the peace that eludes him. Fancy’s shop is his one refuge, until the night their passion erupts into a kiss that nearly leads to her ruin - and leaves both longing for much more.

Together, they discover an unlikely love....

As Fancy finds herself torn between her family’s expectations and her growing feelings for Matthew, secrets are exposed - secrets that force Fancy to question if she can trust her heart’s desire...

Really lovely book

This whole series was a delight and this book was no exception. Lots of books and sex and sex among books… just perfect! Kate Reading does an amazing job, as always. I find myself picking books just because she’s the one reading it!

I really liked this book

It was a great book about how people not only pulled themselves out of poverty but also gave a hand up on the way..The story has a lot of feel good moments. . I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent listening

Lorraine Heath and Kate Reading did it again....created a masterpiece. Lorraine is one of the best story tellers, I've ever read or listened to. She tells a story that pulls the reader/listener in from the beginning....and keeps us there. Her characters are complex but likeable. Making you one of the family. KR is amazing at interpreting LH's story and making her characters memorable. This book is very well-done. While there are lots of chapters, the story moves quickly...particularly because of the bonding of characters & listeners. Fancy's story will bring you joy as it did me.

Love the couple

Loved everything about this couple and their story. Kate Reading is such a talented performer and never ceases to amaze me. Heath & Reading are one of those combos that work every time. Sad there’s only one more left in the series. Would have loved more and will savor.
