The Rebel Heir

Michels’s delicious second Spare Heirs Regency (after The Infamous Heir) unites a proper lady and a swindling gentleman in an unlikely romance. Lady Evangeline Green is determined to be the perfect debutante and land a husband to escape her demanding mother’s tutelage. What she doesn’t expect is a second encounter with Ash Claughbane, who kissed her and left her waiting a year before and who’s now calling himself Lord Crosby. Ash set out to destroy Evie’s father, Lord Rightworth, because Rightworth engineered the financial ruin of Ash’s family, but he didn’t count on meeting Evie again. He becomes completely entranced by her—even after learning that she’s Rightworth’s daughter. When their mutual feelings develop, Evie’s hopeful that she’ll be able to convince Ash to remain in London. Ash and Evie will leave readers mesmerized and the evolution of their relationship is real and believable. Michels expertly delivers a heart-wrenching romance that will leave the reader eagerly anticipating future installments. Agent: Michelle Grajkowski, 3 Seas Literary. (Sept.)
