The Rogue Not Taken

When Sophie, the least interesting of the Talbot sisters, lands her philandering brother-in-law backside-first in a goldfish pond, she shocks society and finds herself the target of very public aristocratic scorn. With no choice but to flee and start a new life far from London, she stows away in a carriage that isn't saving her from ruin — it's filled with it.

Kingscote "King," the Marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn't charm, which has given him a reputation worse than the truth: a pretty face rather than a proper gentleman, and an irate summons home to the Scottish border. When King discovers the stowaway Sophie, the journey becomes anything but boring.

He thinks she's trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn't have him if he were the last man on earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive.

Perfect for fans of Lisa Kleypas and Eloisa James.
