How to Live Happily Ever After

MISS AGNES BOTTOMBROOK: Spinster, Skeptic, Suddenly Sought After.

Who said three times is a charm? Try seventeen rejections! At nine-and-twenty, Agnes Bottombrook had gracefully resigned herself to spinsterhood. Gentlemen simply didn't find her particularly charming—not even during her prime. Now, seemingly settled on the shelf, Agnes has embraced her fate with a pinch of humor and a hefty dose of realism.

Enter LORD WENTFORD: Rakishly Young, Handsome, and Inexplicably Interested.

When Lord Wentford, a dashing young nobleman, unexpectedly asks Agnes to dance, it sends ripples through London society and shock waves through his mother. Agnes, ever the skeptic, suspects his intentions are less than honorable—perhaps a wager or a daring bet gone too far.

Old maid? Not if he has anything to say about it.

Despite Agnes's best efforts to dissuade him, Lord Wentford proves unshakeably persistent, challenging her long-held beliefs about love and her own self-worth. As Agnes finds herself increasingly drawn into a whirlwind of emotion and doubt, she must decide: Is embracing this unforeseen romance an act of courage or folly?

Will Agnes dare to trust her heart, or is she risking it all on a fleeting fantasy?

She's not looking for a hero, but what if he's looking for her?

In a tale of unwavering pursuit and reluctant affection, Agnes might just find that the most improbable love could be exactly what she needs—if she's brave enough to accept it.
