Finding love among the ton isn't something Viscount Endelton can check off a list. Socially awkward Viscount Michael Endelton excels at managing his estate, but when it comes to finding a wife, he's hopelessly lost. Brilliant with numbers but baffled by people, Michael turns to his family for help. Armed with a list of suitable matches, he sets out to secure his future - only to find himself increasingly drawn to a woman who seems to understand him - even if she's all wrong on paper. A practical beauty with a scandalous secret, Philippa Lightwood has no illusions about her place in society. With a father deep in debt and sisters to protect, she knows her options are limited. When her father threatens to marry her off to one of his loathsome friends, Philippa seeks to make a match of her own, even if it means denying herself love. When an accident throws them together, Michael and Philippa form an unlikely alliance to navigate the treacherous waters of the ton. They form a friendship that blooms into something more. When a moment of desperation leads Philippa to take a daring risk to protect Michael's reputation, they're forced to confront their true feelings. In a society bound by rigid rules and expectations, can they find the courage to forge their own path to happiness? From ballrooms to gardens, from misunderstandings to midnight escapes, Michael and Philippa's journey to love is filled with humor, heart, and the realization that sometimes the most perfect match is the one nobody expected. The first book in Lorin's premier sweet Regency romance series.
