Eine Lady für Lord Charrington

When Lord Leander Charrington approaches the young widow Judith Rossiter with a practical marriage proposal, his terms are clear: he needs a sensible wife who will not fall in love with him. Judith, facing a desperate situation she has not disclosed, accepts, knowing she is not the woman he thinks he has found. Their marriage of convenience begins to generate feelings that neither party planned for, and the secret Judith is keeping grows harder to maintain as Charrington grows closer to understanding who she actually is. The third Company of Rogues novel by Jo Beverley uses the marriage-of-convenience trope to examine honesty, self-knowledge, and what we owe each other.

Susan Duerden narrates this German-language edition with the period elegance and emotional warmth that Regency romance demands. Her performance of the growing tension between Judith's maintained deception and her genuine feelings gives the novel its central dramatic engine, and the Regency social world comes through clearly in her voice. At just over eleven and a half hours, this is a richly realized audio experience for readers of historical romance in German.
