She’ll help with his investigation, but she’ll never fall for him. Not again, anyway… Daisy Alcott lost faith in love long ago. She has no patience for such nonsense. But that doesn’t mean she’ll never find a husband. She’ll eventually marry and settle into a nice, loveless relationship where there’s zero chance of getting hurt. Nothing will deter her from her plan. Especially not her childhood enemy—the boy next door who taught her all about heartbreak. Foster Northcott has no time for courtship. He’s been too busy trying to match his brother’s success to even consider such matters. But when he finds himself caught up in a smuggling investigation that throws him into a partnership with the lovely Daisy, he starts to question every decision he’s ever made. Especially the ones that kept him far from her for so long. It will take more than a shared desire to capture some criminals to convince this pair of opposites to give romance a second chance. But as Daisy and Foster will soon learn, evading happily ever after is a lot harder than one might think… Evading the Gentleman is a sweet and clean standalone Regency romance with perfect chemistry, memorable characters, a hint of intrigue, and a satisfying happy ending.
