The Incident at Ingleton

A lady in possession of a bad reputation must be in want of a reputable husband...

After a heartbreaking public scandal, Lady Hester Bracknell flees London and the ton to live with her brother in the country. In rural Ingleton, she meets two very different young men: dashing Neville Butler, a curate with an interest in philanthropy, and serious, bespectacled Walter Haworth, scion of a wealthy merchant family. Hester needs to avoid all romance, lest she further damage her reputation, but sometimes love has other plans...

Walter Haworth is hot on the trail of the criminal who embezzled money from his families' holdings. His search unwittingly leads him to his cousins' country estate where an unexpected gathering may hold the answers - and criminal - he seeks. He can't afford any distractions, but Lady Hester Bracknell may derail his mission in the best of ways...

Coming from different social classes and driven by different interests, Hester and Walter seem to have nothing in common. But as the social gatherings of a little country town continually bring them together, they might find love, if they can move past unfavorable first impressions.

Note: This series is part of Dragonblade's Sweet Dreams line, so this is a sweet, wholesome Historical Romance where passion beyond the bedroom door is left to the reader's imagination.
