Goodreads Synopsis
Her plan to marry well...
has backfired spectacularly!
Miss Betsy Fairfax must marry to save her family from financial ruin. Only, her mother's overzealous efforts to find kind-hearted Betsy a suitable match have made her Society's most undesirable debutante! She's ready to give up and become a paid companion when she shares a spine-tingling kiss with James, a charming steward. Hardly the way to catch a Viscount, unless he's not entirely who he seems?

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
When her actions to find a husband cause her to make the biggest mistake of her life, Betsy Fairfax knows that she might have just ruined her family for good. She needs a husband to save the family, but her mother's actions are too much, and she has scuppered all of her chances. Sharing a kiss with the steward of a neighbouring estate, Betsy is drawn to James. But he's only a servant, and her mother would never allow her to marry him, right?
This was an enjoyable book, but not very memorable, and not really a romance I was too invested in. Betsy was flighty for my taste, and though I knew why she acted irrationally, I couldn't really forget what she had done. James was an alright hero, but very stuck in his ways, and that stiffness was annoying at times. It was a solid regency romance, and enjoyable the time, but not a book I think I'd revisit.
