A Scandal in Spring
A Second-Chance Romance of a Runaway Bride, a One-Night Stand, and the Wife He Had to Win BackBy Eliza ThistlewoodNarrated by Carol EmbryLength6h 9m
About this audiobook
She fled her own wedding four years ago.
Now she has six weeks to convince London she's respectable.
The only man willing to help her is the one who despises everything she represents.
Eliza Thistlewood has mastered two arts: embroidery and invisibility. After a ruined engagement left her reputation in shreds, she's lived in quiet disgrace with her aunt, taking up as little space as possible. But her only chance at financial security comes with an impossible condition — she must be respectably betrothed before the Season ends.
Enter Gabriel Stone.
Self-made. Broad-shouldered. Contemptuous of the aristocracy in a way that is entirely personal and entirely justified. His shipping empire is built on sweat and spite, but it can't buy him entry into the drawing rooms he needs. A temporary engagement to a faded gentlewoman is the perfect arrangement.
Simple. Business. Nothing more.
But Eliza is not the haughty noblewoman Gabriel expected. She's sharp and guarded, and she carries a sadness that mirrors his own in ways he doesn't want to examine. The forced proximity of their charade works on him slowly — her wit at dinner, the careful way she protects herself in every room, the sorrow she tries so hard to hide.
One reckless night behind a locked library door shatters every rule they set.
And then the man who destroyed Eliza four years ago walks back into London with a scheme designed to expose Gabriel's origins and reclaim her for himself.
The scandal is coming. The only question is whether they'll face it together or apart.
A Scandal in Spring is a steamy and emotionally rich Regency romance about second chances, class wounds, hidden pasts, enemies-to-lovers tension, and the terrifying courage it takes to trust someone with the truth.
Perfect for readers who love slow-burn Regency romance, brooding self-made heroes, runaway bride tropes, fake betrothal plots, and swoon-worthy romance in the tradition of Helen Scheuerer and Carley Fortune.
Standalone romance with a hard-earned happy ending.
