Eine Lady für Lord Charrington

A charming diplomat who inspires adoration everywhere he goes, Lord Charrington wants exactly one thing from marriage: a sensible arrangement free of romantic entanglement. When he meets Judith Rossiter — a composed young widow still devoted to her late husband's memory — he believes he has found the perfect solution. But neither of them is entirely who they appear to be, and what begins as a calculated convenience quietly becomes something far more complicated and far more dangerous to their carefully guarded hearts.

Jo Beverley writes Regency romance with an unusually sharp eye for character contradiction — the gap between who people present themselves to be and who they actually are gives this novel its particular tension and warmth. The third entry in her Company of Rogues series, it stands comfortably on its own while rewarding readers already familiar with Beverley's world. Her prose is clean and assured, her dialogue carries genuine wit, and she handles emotional revelation with restraint rather than melodrama — letting the slow unraveling of two people's secrets do the heavy lifting that lesser romances leave to grand gestures.
