COPY ISBN

As the daughter of a businessman, Evangeline Sinclair can do without attention from the ton. After the one man she desires declares himself a determined bachelor, she decides two can play at that game and resigns herself to spinsterhood, shrewishly spurning any potential suitors. When she is forced to shoot an odious admirer to end his unwanted advances, however, marriage might be the only way to save herself from severe legal consequences.

VERDICT Willingham (The Untamed Warrior’s Bride) presents a steamy Victorian second-chance romance. Though advertised as a retelling of The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespearean similarities are minimal.
