The Wallflower Takes All

She has ten days to find a titled husband. Falling for her handsome new solicitor is a complication she cannot afford.

Miss Poppy Montfort has spent years smiling through scandal, stretching every coin to pay tradesmen, and keeping her dazzling, champagne-loving mother one step ahead of disaster. But when the new Viscount Montague announces that he is coming to claim their London town house, Poppy and Lady Viva will be homeless in ten days. With no dowry and no time left for romantic dreams, the overlooked wallflower needs a respectable husband with a title. Quickly.

Gabriel Ashby came to balance the ledgers, not lose his head over the client’s daughter. Determined to untangle the Montfort accounts and escape the family’s beautiful chaos, Gabriel instead finds a clever, loyal woman hiding exhaustion behind bright laughter. As Poppy’s friends launch an urgent husband hunt, every ballroom, unsuitable suitor, and stolen glance makes his inconvenient desire harder to deny. But the safest match may demand the one sacrifice Poppy can no longer bear to make.

With a false count, a criminally mischievous spaniel, and Lady Viva’s latest schemes complicating matters, Poppy must decide whether security is worth a loveless marriage—or whether she dares risk everything for the man who sees her clearly.

The Wallflower Takes All is a witty, scandalously sensual Regency historical romance featuring an overlooked wallflower heroine, an opposites-attract class-crossing love story, female friendship, found family, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone.

Perfect for readers who love Julia Quinn’s sparkling Regency wit, Tessa Dare’s scandalously sexy romantic comedy, and Erica Ridley’s lively found-family charm.
