An Unintended Engagement

Lord Arthur Yelverton hasn't forgotten the woman who refused his first proposal. He's no longer the eager young puppy who fell in love with every woman in London. He's devoted himself to his work as an ambassador in Paris.

When Lady Agatha arrives in Versailles with her friend, Mrs. Phillips, she hardly recognizes the man she once knew. He's the complete opposite of everything she expected. Mature, thoughtful, serious, and as handsome as ever.

But her refusal to reconsider him is just as ironclad as the resentment Isabella Phillips feels for Mr. Rushworth, who spurned her years ago.

Rushworth did not dare stand up to his father and marry the woman he loved, and Isabella has never forgiven him. Now she's widowed with a young child, burdened with the care of an estate, and she has no inclination to forgive the man who deemed her unworthy so long ago.

Is there room in the cramped hunting lodge for a second chance at romance? With a meddling Duchess busy at matchmaking, a Duke determined to help his hapless undersecretaries, a toddling baby, an oversized Great Dane and her litter of pups, and a whole host of misunderstandings, it could be a very, very long two weeks.

This second chance reomance novel is a "sweet" or closed door historical romance, which means there are swoony kisses and plenty of yearning, but no spicy scenes. It has both enemies-to-lovers and friends-to-lovers vibesand that's just between Lord Yelverton and Agatha, but Rushworth and Isabella have plenty of enemies-to-lovers vibes of their own. Despite their historyor because of ityou might cry as well as laugh, but there's a happily ever after with no cheating. This book can be enjoyed as a stand alone or as part of the Victorian Grand Tour series.
