What a Lady Most Desires: 3 [Mass Market Paperback] Cornwall, Lecia

Lady Delphine St. James has a secret that could ruin her — and a list of suitors who'd crumble if they knew. Enter Captain Stephen Ives, a wounded war hero more interested in escaping London than finding a wife. When circumstances throw them together, what begins as a convenient arrangement becomes something far more dangerous. Cornwall writes Regency romance with actual stakes — these aren't just misunderstandings over tea. There's scandal simmering beneath the ballroom manners, real consequences for missteps, and chemistry that doesn't wait for the epilogue. The banter crackles, the tension builds, and both characters have enough damage and dignity to make you root for them. Perfect for when you want historical romance with spine, or when you need to remember why the genre exists in the first place.
