Impeccably handsome, rich, and well-bred, Sebastian Thorne, the Viscount Cotereigh, is proud to be society’s king. Now he needs a wife to rule by his side, but his chosen candidate demands proof of the only thing he’s rumoured to lack. A heart. How the devil does one prove that?

Enter Madelaine Ardingly, the bluestocking widow known as the Pretty Pariah. Her charity work has made her a social outcast, but popularity is immaterial when her heart desires only one thing: creating an organisation dedicated to ending cruelty to children. Now she needs men of rank to fill its board—men exactly like Sebastian Thorne.

Soon a wager is underway. If Sebastian can make the Pretty Pariah’s cause fashionable, then he can prove his softer side by pretending to care about her charity work. And as for Madelaine, she’s already suffered through much. If the haughty viscount’s influence is useful to her cause, she’s prepared to suffer him too.

What neither can predict is that by attempting to prove he has a heart, Sebastian might risk losing his—to the wrong woman. As it turns out, the only thing he wants to win is her. But the widowed Madelaine gave her heart away a long time ago. Can the viscount win it for himself?

A slow burn, open door Regency romance.
