An Honorable Love

When a priceless family heirloom disappears from Leonard Stanton's person in the middle of a glittering 19th-century ballroom, the culprit has the audacity to smile at him from across the room.

Leonard is not a man built for chaos. A reserved second son who has long preferred the quiet corners of polite society to its exhausting center stage, he has cultivated a carefully ordered life—until Mrs. Honora Gillingham steals both his heirloom and his peace of mind in one devastatingly cheerful swoop. She is everything he isn't: warm, unpredictable, quick with a laugh, and utterly impossible to ignore. She is also, infuriatingly, his only hope of getting the treasure back.

What follows is a reluctant partnership that neither of them asked for and neither can seem to escape. As Leonard and Honora navigate a breathless series of misadventures through London's glittering drawing rooms and shadowy back streets, the lines between resentment and admiration blur in the most inconvenient ways. His walls were built to last. Her sunshine was made for exactly this.

Audra Wells delivers a sparkling historical romance that crackles with wit, warmth, and the delicious slow burn of two people fighting their feelings almost as hard as they fight each other. *An Honorable Love* is a grumpy-sunshine gem wrapped in Regency elegance—and once Leonard and Honora collide, you won't want to look away.
