Lady Amelia Whitcombe’s time is running out. With her third Season nearing its end and her mother’s pressure mounting, Amelia is overshadowed by her beautiful, vain sister and haunted by the memory of a love long lost. Could Lord Redford be the answer to her yearning for more than polite conversation and strategic matches?

Lord Nathaniel Redford is a duke left with a crumbling estate. Burdened by duty, he must marry a wealthy woman to secure the Redfords’ future. When his aunt’s designs bring him into Amelia’s path, he sees in the wallflower much more than what he sees in her alluring sister. Could this convenient arrangement ever mean real love for the Duke?

As the Season unfolds, Amelia and Nathaniel find themselves drawn together by circumstance, and their hearts caught between ambition and affection. Amid whispered scandals, family pressures, and the shifting tides of society, will they sacrifice love for security, or risk everything for a chance at true happiness?

"The Lord's Blooming Wallflower" is a historical romance novel of approximately 60,000 words. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

In all honesty DNF-couldn't take any more after chapter 17. The only character I half way liked was Amelia. But there are so many anachornisms that I began to wonder if the author wrote this as a 21st century romance then thought to bank on the regency romance market so slapped on a different cover, swapped out some paragraphs and voila! 2 books for the effort of 1.
Such as titles and obsession with hierarchy. Nathaniel is supposed to be a Duke but a servant in his own household referred to him as my lord rather than your grace. During the regency period there were only about 25-28 dukes in England but Nathaniel is introduced to Isabella by his first and last name, not even including his title. Aunt Augusta describes Sophia and Amelia as ladies of fortune but not the title of her father. Then they're introduced by first and last name, not by their honorifics. And then a LADY, on first meeting, joking that a duke has syphilis?!? I should have stopped right then. Not looking for pure and accurate regency era manners but this was beyond bad.
