The Gilded Age Heiresses Book 2

A BuzzFeed Best Romance of 2021! Beneath Violet Crenshaw's ladylike demeanor lies the heart of a rebel. As American heiresses looking to secure English lords must be on their best behavior, no one would guess that Violet has other plans. She intends to flee London and the marriage her parents have arranged to become a published author. However, the wickedly handsome earl who inspired her most outrageously sinful character insists on coming with her.

Christian Halston, Earl of Leigh, has a scheme of his own: escort the surprisingly spirited dollar princess north and use every delicious moment in close quarters to convince Violet to marry him. Christian needs an heiress to rebuild his Scottish estate, but the more time he spends with Violet, the more he realizes what he really needs is her – by his side, near his heart, in his bed. Though Christian's burning glances offer unholy temptation, Violet has no intention of surrendering herself or her newfound freedom in a permanent deal with the devil. It's going to take more than pretty words to prove this fortune hunter's love is true.

Sparks fly when a runaway heiress bargains with a devilish rogue to escape a marriage of convenience. Violet is determined to break free from the constraints of her expected societal role and pursue her dream of becoming a published author. But her plans are complicated by the persistent presence of the Earl of Leigh, who is equally determined to win Violet's hand in marriage.

Christian sees Violet's heiress status as the key to restoring his family's Scottish estate, but as he gets to know her, he finds himself falling for her spirited nature and unconventional desires. Violet, however, is wary of Christian's motives and refuses to be swayed by his charm and seductive overtures. She has tasted the freedom of her own ambitions and has no intention of trading it for a life of domesticity, even if it means forfeiting the growing attraction between them.

The battle of wills between Violet and Christian is fierce, with both characters unwilling to back down from their respective goals. Yet, as they are forced to spend more time together, the undeniable chemistry between them sparks to life, igniting a passion that threatens to consume them both. Violet must decide whether to trust Christian's professed love or continue her quest for independence, while Christian must find a way to convince Violet that his affection is genuine and that their future together can include her dreams as well as his own.
