About this ebook

Amid the quiet confines of her existence, Lady Jane Roseington resigns herself to a solitary life of spinsterhood, destined to linger in the shadows as an unnoticed bystander. Yet, a glimmer of hope persists within her, defying all rationality. This fragile hope is put to the test when an encounter with a lord possessing the charm of a tempestuous boar shatters her calm demeanor, plunging her into scandal.

Caleb Wesley, the enigmatic Earl of Keery, bears the weight of a past failure that haunts his every step. He has embraced a reputation as a rogue, seeking solace in reckless liaisons, the thrill of gambling, and the comforting embrace of spirits. These indulgences seem unending until an unforeseen twist of fate forces him to a vow of matrimony after a thoughtless mistake stains a lady's honor.

Thrown together by the cruel hand of fate, Jane and Caleb's lives converge in ways neither could have foreseen. As they navigate their reluctant union, they discover an unexpected connection that defies their preconceived notions. Can they break free from the shackles of past pain and preconceived notions, allowing themselves to embrace the unanticipated love woven into their intertwined destinies?

Ratings and reviews

This is a lunch read. This is Caleb and Jane's story. She is a spinster and he has a reputation that is scadalous. What will happen when they are caught in bed? Can they right her honor? Can he overcome his past? Can they survive together?. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was another great entry in the Ladies and Scoundrels series, it had a great overall feel to the story. The characters felt like they belonged in this series, I was never bored when reading this and glad it had the same spirit. I enjoyed the way Amanda Mariel wrote this and how it left me wanting more. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Immediately beginning with a scandal the story continued with many misunderstandings, a lack of communication and much intrigue between Lady Jane and Caleb the Earl of Wesley, which had me continuously in wonder of what would occur next. All the characters were lovely. What began as a forced relationship soon turned into much love and romance with a touch of steam. Best of all it ended happily. I highly recommend reading!
