She's determined to defy convention by marrying for grand passion instead of settling for a loveless union like her parents-or wedding a stuffy, pompous gentleman like Edward, the Viscount Withinghall. But when a chance meeting in the countryside leads to Leorah and Withinghall being discovered in his overturned carriage-alone and after dark-the ensuing gossip may force them together. Withinghall has his reasons for clinging to propriety; his father perished in a duel with his mistress's husband, and Edward must avoid scandal himself if he wants to become prime minister. He certainly has no time for a reckless hoyden like Miss Langdon. But soon the two discover that Withinghall's coach \"accident\" was no such thing: the vehicle was sabotaged. Can the culprit be brought to justice? Strong-willed Leorah and duty-driven Withinghall will have to work together if they have any hope of saving her reputation, his political career-and his life.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51569109303583,"sku":"9781503938649","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781503938649_1310251.jpg?v=1769317617"},{"product_id":"a-dangerous-engagement-03-in-the-regency-spies-of-london-series-491584","title":"A Dangerous Engagement (#03 in The Regency Spies Of London Series)","description":"Just as merchant's daughter Felicity Mayson is spurned once again because of her meager dowry, she receives an unexpected invitation to Lady Blackstone's country home.
