Overview

She gave him a meal; he offered her poetry-and both hungered for more. Lady Felicity has mastered the fine art of disappearing. The sixth of eight siblings, she's long been labeled the ""cull of the litter"" by Society's sharpest tongues. Shy, curvaceous, and far more comfortable in a kitchen than a ballroom, she slips away from every soiree her matchmaking brother forces her to attend-preferably toward the comforting scent of butter and warm bread just pulled from the oven. Food, after all, is her love language. But the night she finds a ravenous stranger prowling a host's kitchen, her quiet world tilts. The handsome, silver-tongued intruder devours the food she prepares with poetic praise that leaves her cheeks-and her heart-unexpectedly warm. Drake Pemberton, newly minted seventh Earl of Wakefield, didn't plan on falling for the charming ""kitchen angel"" who saved him from starvation. Nor did he expect her to be a duke's sister-with a dowry that could rescue him from the debt and danger left by his not-so-dead uncle, the sixth Earl of Wakefield. But Felicity is determined to marry for love, not money, and Drake knows the truth about his circumstances could send her running. As a delicious attraction simmers into something deeper, lies of omission, malicious gossip, and dangerous creditors threaten to scorch their budding romance. Only trust-and a love worth every risk-can save them before it all boils over. Tropes you'll love: Shy, curvaceous wallflower who steps into her courage He falls first Food as a love language Miscommunication Lies of omission Danger from outside forces Posing as a peer
