Seventeen-year-old Viola Leigh never imagined that tumbling out of a crumbling ruin would land her directly in the arms of the most infuriatingly proper man in England. Sebastian Fane is everything Viola is not: starched, serious, and utterly horrified by her chaotic nature. Yet, a singular, scandalous mistake at the altar binds these two opposites in a marriage neither of them wants. Nine years later, the distance between them is vast. Sebastian has climbed to the heights of Parliament, maintaining a spotless reputation that he guards at all costs. Meanwhile, Viola has been living with dangerous, scandalous secrets that threaten to shatter his carefully constructed world. When circumstances force the estranged couple to share a roof in London, the pretense of their non-existent marriage begins to crumble. This witty, second-chance Regency romance pits a buttoned-up gentleman against a spirited, unpredictable heroine. As old tensions flare and new complications arise, the pair must finally face the truth they have spent a decade running from. Through hilarious misunderstandings and mounting pressure, Sebastian and Viola discover that their disastrous, accidental union might just be the most inconvenient—and enduring—love story of their lives.
