I Adored a Lord: 2 [Mass Market Paperback] Ashe, Katharine

A governess, a lord with secrets, and a house party where everyone's hiding something. When penniless Ravenna Caulfield accepts a position tutoring the daughter of a reclusive viscount, she expects boredom — instead she finds a man who looks at her like she's a puzzle he can't solve, and a sprawling estate full of whispers. The chemistry crackles from page one, but Katharine Ashe doesn't rush it. She layers mystery, wit, and slow-burn tension into a Regency romance that feels both classic and fresh. Ravenna is sharp-tongued and broke, not demure and titled, which makes every stolen glance with the enigmatic Lord Vitor Courtenay land harder. This is the second in Ashe's Prince Catchers series, but it stands alone beautifully. Perfect for fans of Lisa Kleypas or anyone who likes their historical romance with a gothic edge and heroines who don't wait to be rescued.
