A classic Regency historical from NYT bestselling author Patricia Rice: London, 1816. a sweeping tale of survival, self-determination, and the unexpected paths love can take in Regency England.
In the shadow of war and economic upheaval, Lady Cassandra Howard’s family teeters on the edge of ruin. Once paraded through London’s gaming hells as her father’s “lucky charm,” Cass has learned to navigate a world of power and deception—but her brother’s plan to barter her into marriage with a notorious rake ends her cooperation.
Across the narrow boundary of their neighboring estates, Wyatt Mannering, Earl of Merrick, is a man of impeccable reputation who intends to marry a woman as steady and virtuous as he. Yet when Cass confronts him in a bold act of defiance, Wyatt is drawn into her struggle.
In a society that leaves little room for women’s independence, Cass must decide how far she is willing to go to claim her freedom. And as Wyatt’s sense of duty collides with his growing admiration for his unconventional neighbor, both risk more than their reputations.
Rich in period detail and layered with intrigue, Dash of Enchantment is a sweeping tale of survival, self-determination, and the unexpected paths love can take in Regency England.
