Miss Davis and the Spare

A spirited young woman. A roguish gentleman. When hearts collide, can opposites find common ground? In this clean Regency romance, a clever young woman from the countryside reluctantly accepts a transformation under the guidance of an aristocratic gentleman from the city. But his teasing nature keeps her on edge, and it's only a matter of time before their growing attraction becomes impossible to ignore. She finds him infuriating… yet compelling. The Davis family has recently risen to the ranks of the gentry, thanks to their connection with the Earl of Saunton. When the earl invites Emma Davis and her sister to London for the Season, Emma would rather refuse—until she sees her sister's excitement. She knows she must accept, even if it means tolerating the earl's charming but vexing brother. Determined to look out for her beloved sibling, she vows not to let the handsome Perry Balfour distract her heart. He finds her unpolished… yet intriguing. Peregrine Balfour cannot believe the tasks his brother has assigned him: escorting a country girl to London and preparing her for society. He should be enjoying the social whirl, not giving lessons to a stubborn and independent young woman. Yet, as he spends more time with Emma, he finds himself captivated by her honesty and wit. Soon, he realizes he is no longer just teaching her the steps of a waltz—he is learning to follow his heart. Can these two opposites find a way to bridge the gap between them, discovering a love that blossoms from friendship, or will misunderstandings and pride keep them apart?
