Her Ladyship's American Wife

England, 1896. The Countess of Mereford has one hundred and seventeen days to save the only home that has ever truly belonged to her.

Constance Vale has spent fifteen years being sensible, respectable, and utterly alone. Now widowed, nearly penniless, and facing the loss of her beloved seaside estate, she has no patience left for charming men who think they know what's best for her.

Beatrice Alden has everything Constance doesn't: an American fortune, an outrageous disregard for convention, and a pair of remarkably talented hands. The ambitious sculptor needs a studio. Constance has an abandoned coach house. Their arrangement is strictly business. Beatrice pays the rent. Constance makes the decisions. Neither woman owes the other anything.

But when a shared doorway becomes an invitation, a summer of respectable arrangements turns into something gloriously improper.

As Constance discovers desires she has spent a lifetime suppressing, Beatrice finds herself falling for the one woman who refuses to be bought. Between stolen nights, scandalous sculpture, and a house that threatens to become a hotel, they must confront a question neither knows how to answer.

Can two women who have spent their lives protecting their independence learn to choose each other?

A passionate, emotionally rich Victorian sapphic romance featuring a formidable countess, a fearless American artist, forbidden desire, and a love worth defying society to keep.
