About this listen

A duel. An ultimatum. An arranged marriage.

England, 1777

Will, Viscount Wingrave, whiles away his time gambling and bedding married women, thwarted in his wish to serve his country by his controlling father.

News that his errant son has fought a duel with a jealous husband is the last straw for the Earl of Marstone. He decrees that Will must marry. The earl's eye lights upon Connie Charters, unpaid housekeeper and drudge for a poor but socially ambitious father who cares only for the advantage her marriage could bring him.

Will and Connie meet for the first time at the altar. But Connie wants a husband who will love and respect her, not a womanizer and a gambler.

Their new home, on the wild coast of Devonshire, conceals dangerous secrets that threaten them and the nation. Can Will and Connie overcome the forces against them and forge a happy life together?

A Busy Plot with a Charming Slow-Burn Romance

A delightful mix of historical romance and social dynamics. The slow-burn romance is beautifully written and feels authentic, especially in the context of a marriage of convenience, a realistic and common scenario for the time period, even if it’s not everyone’s favorite trope.

The story does suffer slightly from having too much happening at once, which can make it feel a bit crowded and overwhelming at times. However, the characters are well-drawn, and their personal growth and interactions keep the reader invested.

Esther Wane’s narration is a highlight, with distinct character voices that bring the cast to life. Her performance enhances the story, making it easy to follow even with the busy plot.

Overall, a solid read with historical charm, relatable characters, and a satisfying romance.
