Unsuitable Bride for a Viscount: 2 Beacon, Elizabeth

A governess with a scandalous past. A viscount who should know better. And a London season that's about to get complicated. When Miss Marianne Turner arrives as governess to Lord Stratford's wards, she's meant to fade into the background. But the viscount can't stop noticing her — her sharp wit, her quiet grace, the way she transforms his household. Society has rules about men like him and women like her, and those rules are ironclad. She's unsuitable by every measure that matters to the ton. He's duty-bound to marry well and restore his family's reputation. But when Marianne is forced into the spotlight during the season, Stratford has to choose: honour the expectations that have governed his entire life, or fight for the woman who's made him feel alive for the first time. Elizabeth Beacon writes Regency romance with backbone — heroines who work for a living, heroes who learn to see past their privilege, and love stories that earn their happy endings. For readers who like their historical romance with a side of social commentary and protagonists worth rooting for.
