Synopsis

Meet the highly unconventional Wentworth family in this charming USA Todaybestseller with a Cinderella twist, perfect for fans of Mary Balogh.

One minute, London banker Quinn Wentworth is facing execution. The next, he's declared the long-lost heir to a dukedom. Quinn has fought his way up from the worst slums, and now he's ready to use every dirty trick he knows to find the enemy who schemed against him.

Jane Winston, widowed and pregnant, crosses paths with Quinn while her father is preaching to the prisoners. Believing his days are numbered, Quinn offers her marriage as a way to guarantee her independence and provide for her child. Neither thinks they'll actually have a future together.

He's a wealthy gutter rat out for vengeance. She's a minister's daughter who must turn a marriage of desperation into a proper ducal union. Are they doomed from the start or destined for a happily-ever-after?

Also includes the bonus novella Once Upon a Christmas Eve from New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Hoyt!

When his carriage wheel snaps in a snowstorm, Adam Rutledge, Viscount d'Arque, is forced to seek shelter at the home of the most maddening, infuriating, and utterly beguiling woman he's ever met.

Goodreads review by WhiskeyintheJar on November 09, 2018

3.5 stars I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. If the eyes were windows to the soul, Mr. Wentworth's soul was a bleak, silent moor under a gray December sky. First in a new series and an introductio......more

Goodreads review by Mei on March 25, 2019

It was a slow road to love. Very slow. A marriage of convenience for the heroine and the last act of kindnes by the hero. But it was not to be. The hero doesn't die, but is given a lofty title: Duke of Walden! And so their marriage becomes real. A a minister's daughter Jane becomes a duchess! Quinn be......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on December 17, 2018

I really enjoyed this, though I cringe at the detailed look of life in Newgate prison. Looking back it wasn't that much of the book, but it stands out in my memory like it was half. I loved both characters from the start, though, and that's in no small part due to the realities they face in that des......more

Goodreads review by Katie on March 05, 2019

Read this review and others on my blog! I thought it wasn’t possible. I thought it was simply not meant to be. But lo and behold, despite the fact that it’s February in Connecticut and we just suffered a snowstorm, in my heart doves are cooing, angels are singing, and double rainbows wreathe the sky. Y......more

Goodreads review by Wollstonecrafthomegirl on March 31, 2019

This was Burrowes by Numbers. Or, if you prefer, Burrowes Phoning It In. I have just finished reading this and I have already forgotten most of it. So I continue my awkward recent relationship with Burrowes in which I am simultaneously reasonably entertained by everything she writes and annoyed she......more

Burrowes is a writer of towering talent...The lens with which I will view historical romance has been forever changed."—USA Today Happy Ever After

"An extremely touching love story, and its finely calibrated shifts in tone are possible because of the author's exhaustive knowledge of the period.
