Beers, Laura Lockwood Family. #bk. 5

Read by Amy Alan

He was the last man she ever wanted to turn to. Now, he's the only one she can't live without. Lady Elodie Lockwood is content with being a wallflower, but fate has other plans. Declared the diamond of the Season, she finds herself the focus of Society's relentless gaze-a situation that feels more like a curse than a blessing. When a misstep leads to scandal, Elodie is forced to seek help from an unlikely source: Lord Belview, her childhood nemesis. Anthony Sackville, Viscount Belview, has troubles of his own. Tasked with reining in his brother's reckless ways, he's already juggling enough when a young child is left on his doorstep, claiming to be his niece. Determined to shield the innocent girl from the chaos surrounding her father, Anthony turns to the one person he believes has the poise and grace to manage the impossible-Lady Elodie. Together, Elodie and Anthony form a surprising attachment that runs deeper than friendship. But before they can explore these new feelings, they must face unexpected opposition tied to their standing in Society. With Elodie under pressure from a suitor and Anthony burdened by family obligations, can they defy convention and carve out a path to happiness?
