Rock and Henry’s Lords of Bucknall Club series takes place in an alternate Regency era where equal marriage is legal and courtships of all kinds dominate the season. This sweet saga kicks off with Lord William Hartwell in need of a spouse lest his parents cut him off. He agrees to a marriage of convenience with his best friend Rebecca but it's her brother, the dashing Viscount Warrington, who catches his eye. As for Warry, he's being blackmailed into marrying a dastardly lord to save his sister’s reputation, but being in close proximity to Hartwell could prove too much for either of them to resist!

Publisher Description

He must marry, or risk his fortune. The whole of London Society has long assumed Lord William Hartwell will marry his childhood best friend, Lady Rebecca Warrington. After two Seasons, Hartwell remains quite content with bachelorhood—his parents do not. When Hartwell learns they intend to cut his purse strings unless he makes a match this Season, he resigns himself to a marriage of convenience with Becca, and yet he can't help but be drawn to her younger brother, Warry.

He must marry, or risk his sister's ruin. The Viscount "Warry" Warrington is used to being viewed as the tagalong little brother. Now a grown man about to enter his second Season, Warry is desperate to be seen. When Lord Balfour, a handsome older peer, takes Warry under his wing, Warry thinks his dream is finally coming true. Until Balfour reveals his true intent—to make public a letter that will destroy Becca's reputation, unless Warry agrees to marry him.

Time is running out for both of them. When an injury forces Warry to recover at Hartwell House, the two succumb to a secret flirtation. But Warry's sudden announcement of his engagement to Balfour drives Hartwell near mad with jealousy—and right into Becca's arms. With the clock ticking for Warry to save his sister, will Hartwell discover the truth of Warry's feelings before it's too late?
