Always the chaperone and never the bride - until she catches the eye of the very man whose courtship she's supposed to be helping...

Lady Charlotte St Maur is a spinster. Invited to dances as a chaperone rather than a dance partner, it's all she can do to keep back tears as match after match is made - with her help. But a lady over thirty, no matter the title, doesn't find true love.

William Lennox, Duke of Mercia, never expected to come to fame and fortune, and never thought anything could be more tiring than soldiering - except the marriage market. He needs to make a good match, but no matter how many young chits he's introduced to, it's always the chaperone who catches his eye.

He's determined to convince her. She finds the idea of anyone courting her laughable. This soldier has never been defeated, and he won't now. A seduction is the only recourse.

Can Charlotte allow herself to be loved or will the Duke of Lennox be tempted away by a bright young thing?

This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Lady Charlotte St. Maur has resigned herself to being a spinster.  She's thirty-five years old and only ever asked to be the chaperone for courting couples.  Until her brother's recent marriage it didn't seem so bad.  But nobody wants to be the third wheel to newlyweds.  
William Lennox, the Duke of Mercia can't move through society without marriage minded mothers throwing their insipid daughters at him.  None of them have anything to interest him.  He's quite happy to let his brother be his heir.  Until the one of the young ladies and her chaperone join him.  
This is an emotional story where our heroine has given up on herself.  Our hero grew up never knowing he was in line to be a Duke and some if society look down on him for his behavior.  
I fell in love with all the characters from the first page.  
I loved it.
