Valentine [Mass Market Paperback] Feather,Jane

A Regency widow with a scandalous reputation meets her match in a nobleman who sees through her carefully constructed armor. Jane Feather delivers a sparkling historical romance where wit and desire collide in Regency England's glittering ballrooms and shadowy gaming hells. Lady Theodora Belmont has spent years playing society's games by her own rules, but the Earl of Stoneridge is playing for keeps — and he's decided she's worth the chase. What begins as a battle of wills becomes something far more dangerous when two people who've sworn off love discover they might not have a choice. Feather writes razor-sharp banter and characters who feel fully alive, their chemistry crackling off the page. Perfect for fans of Lisa Kleypas or anyone who wants a Regency romance with bite, intelligence, and heat. This is courtship as verbal sparring, seduction as strategy, and love as the ultimate surrender.
