A bold beauty. A brooding viscount.

And two weeks that may change everything.

Lady Alice Pickford is not the kind of woman who fades quietly into the background. With flaming red hair, a razor-sharp wit, and a smile that dares the world to keep up, she thrives on risk, rebellion, and romance—for others. Love, after all, is something she’ll only accept on her own impossible terms.

Samuel Baldwin, Viscount Crewe, has spent years building a life of restraint and order. Haunted by the consequences of past mistakes, he has no time for bold debutantes who speak too freely or laugh too easily—especially not ones like Alice.

When a two-week house party throws them under the same roof, sparks fly faster than scandal. Forced into shared carriage rides, moonlit dances, and far too many stolen conversations, their barbed exchanges give way to something neither of them expected: understanding. Longing. Temptation.

She thinks he’s the most maddening man she’s ever met.

He thinks she’s everything he shouldn’t want.

But with every passing day, desire becomes harder to deny—and the cost of walking away grows higher than either of them ever imagined.

Two hearts. One house party.

And a fortnight they’ll never forget.

A slow burn romance of two people who have put up walls barring commitment. Yet both know how much they are missing. A two week house party brings them together. Now see how they can get their HEA. Well written with lots of angst and humor. Very entertaining.

I listened to the Audible version of this book. The narrator, Tara-Louise Kaye with her appropriate accent presents this story well. 4 stars for her as well.

Alice and Samuel are both quite wary of marriage. Alice does not wish to lose her identity by being a dutiful (only) wife. Samuel holds on to past regret, for something that was not his fault. Something else they have in common are their friends Clara and Crispin, who seem somewhat determined to see the two of them together. The house party gives them the opportunity to get to know each other and share something of their pasts and confide in each other. This is a well-written and emotional slow-burn romance with a couple who learn the value of understanding, and of helping each other. Nice narration by Tara-Louise Kaye.
