Margaret Arden’s novel is her life’s work, and she dreams of publishing it. Her aunt has other ideas, insisting she marry for status and forget her writing. Bridger Darrow must save his family from destitution while attempting to start a reputable publishing company. He has no interest in Margaret’s writing, until he unknowingly reads her novel. With circumstances pushing them apart, it seems impossible for love to take root. Roux’s newest is ripe with scandal, romance, and a mystery to solve. When the story opens, readers will find themselves comfortable in a standard Regency romance novel, but a mystery quickly takes shape, adding intrigue and tension to the plot and pulling readers in. The protagonists’ developing relationship and their desire to uncover the truth drives the plot forward, keeping readers engaged. The idyllic country setting is described in exquisite detail that places readers in the novel and connects them to the story.
VERDICT Readers who enjoy an enemies-to-lovers romance will love Roux’s (The Proposition) historical take on the trope.
