Mr. Fernley and the Lady (Fernley Family #2)

One dance changed everything—but love could change even more.

Mr. Archibald Fernley has finally secured the most sought-after editor in England—only to learn his current manuscript is wholly unacceptable. Given one month to redeem himself, Archie is tasked with uncovering a subject compelling enough to enchant the ton while exposing the quiet inequalities of England’s social classes. Failure will cost him his reputation and his future as a writer.

Lady Rosalind Bailey has no intention of encouraging the persistent suitor her family favors. Desperate for escape, she accepts a seemingly harmless offer to dance with Mr. Fernley. But a single waltz leads to ruin when the pair are discovered alone in a secluded room leaving their reputations compromised. Marriage becomes their only option.

Thrown together by scandal rather than affection, Archie and Rosalind begin a reluctant union neither expected nor desired. Yet a summer spent at Brookside Manor may transform obligation into devotion, and a marriage of necessity into a love neither dared to hope for.

Mr. Fernley and the Lady can be read as s a stand-alone novel or enjoyed as part of the Fernley Family series by Angela E. Johnson. This is a clean marriage of convenience Regency-era romance.
