The Viscount's Wayward Son

2020

True Love Can Never be Forgotten Sometimes what you want the most has been there all along… A Sweet Friends-to-Lovers Regency Romance. Anne Albright, the hot-headed daughter of Lord Aldbrick, wants nothing more than to be wanted. She longs to be accepted and loved for the forthright woman she really is. Edmund Ingram, the charmingly handsome son of a viscount, has always failed to make his father proud, despite his best intentions. Childhood sweethearts Anne and Edmund once vowed to marry each other when they were older. Now, Anne is halfway through her second Season and it seems Edmund has forgotten his promise. Anne is not about to be left on the self! She may be a damsel. She may be in distress, but she can handle it. Almost… In her quest to catch herself a husband and to be accepted by society, Anne has fallen victim to the will of a patriarchal man who wants Anne to be his. Edmund is shocked when Anne announces that she is courting a pompous bore of a man named Lord Amberleigh. Realizing that he's in love with Anne, Edmund vows to stop the marriage at all costs. However, things are not always what they seem. What if Anne no longer loves him? What if Anne has truly fallen for Lord Amberleigh? Edmund is an awkward sweet hero, who feels unequipped to fight for his lady, but he has a knack for discovering the truth about people, and the truth might just be enough. Edmund must beat Amberleigh at his own game…and somehow win back the lady of his dreams. Though part of a series, all of Isabella Thorne’s novels are standalone stories and can be read in any order.

The Marquess' Rose

Can love bloom after loss? Sometimes forever finds you when you least expect it… Miss Eliza Albright, the middle daughter of the Viscount Aldbrick, has vowed never to marry. After being thrown over by a suitor she thought she loved, Eliza is determined to forge her own path to independence. Richard Renthem, the newly made Marquess of Trenton, is still reeling from the death of his beloved elder brother. Seeking solace, Richard travels to the quiet Northwickshire countryside in order to enlist the help of his aunt, the sharp-tongued Dowager Lady Mayberry. The new Lord Trenton hopes to entice his aunt to renew his mother’s garden and lift her spirits. Instead, he entices the lovely Miss Eliza Albright. Shocking everyone, most of all herself, Eliza flees from her father’s house and his marriage plans for her. She absconds to Taprington Hall with her out-spoken spinster Aunt Portia, the irascible Dowager Lady Mayberry and the imminently eligible Lord Trenton. For the first time in his life, Richard just might have a chance to grow beyond the trappings of his position. He knows his duty to his grieving mother, to his ailing sister and to the marquessate, but he soon finds he wants to be loved…for himself. As his walls come tumbling down, Eliza and Richard work together to create one perfect English garden, during one lovely English Summer. Can love bloom in the shadow of grief?
