The Debutante Disaster

Name: The Debutante Disaster
Author: Rachel Rowan

94 pages

Fashionable and carefree, Jack, The Viscount Orton, sees no need to help manage his little sister’s London debut. His other, married sister can do the job, especially as she’s hit on the perfect plan: inviting quiet little Lucy Fanshaw, the childhood friend he adored, to perform the tedious role of chaperone.

It’s been seven years since aspiring artist Lucy left the Orton estate to live in seclusion with her elderly aunt. Seven years since she last saw Jack, the teasing lordling she remembers with as much vexation as fondness. A disastrous reintroduction at Almack’s shows he’s as incorrigible as ever—and unfortunately, just as handsome.

But Almack’s is only the pair’s first disaster. Rumours, nude paintings, a distressingly fake engagement, and matchmaking friends all create a chaotic tangle that teaches Jack a young lady’s society introduction requires far more care than he realised.

Worst of all, his best friend, the kind-hearted George, seems to be falling for Lucy. Jack might not understand why, but he’s suddenly sure that seeing Lucy get married to someone else would be the biggest disaster of all…

A slow-burn and open-door Regency romance, perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer and Bridgerton.
