The Earl's Impossible Bargain: A Friends to Lovers Regency Romance

Lady Isabel Ainsworth knows her duty. Lord William Brampton knows his place. Their fathers have arranged the perfect match to unite two of England's most prestigious earldoms. There's just one problem: neither wants to marry the other.

Armed with a scandalous plan to sabotage their courtship, Isabel and William set out to prove themselves hopelessly incompatible. But an inconvenient truth begins to emerge beneath their staged arguments and carefully orchestrated social disasters. Those lingering touches during piano lessons weren't part of the plan. Neither was the way William's gaze followed Isabel across every crowded ballroom.

As their clever scheme unravels thread by thread, Isabel and William discover that true passion can't be feigned-and the heart won't be denied, even in the face of duty.
