Four years after being ruined by scandal, she returns home—only to find a stern, handsome vicar waiting to marry her. At nineteen, [Y/n] was branded a harlot and banished from polite society for a scandal that wasn’t what it seemed. Now twenty-three, her estranged father is dead, she’s inherited the largest share of his fortune…and his final attempt to secure her future comes in the imposing form of the Reverend Nathaniel Harcourt. Nathaniel is everything [Y/n] is not: disciplined, devout, respectable, and possessed of enough patience to qualify as a minor miracle. He believes marriage can offer his late friend’s scandalous daughter security and a second chance. Then he actually meets her. Beautiful, bold, unapologetic, and still entirely uninterested in behaving herself, [Y/n] proves considerably more tempting—and troublesome—than anticipated. Now Hathercombe’s most notorious woman is becoming its vicar’s wife. The village is scandalized, Nathaniel’s patience is being tested daily, and [Y/n] is discovering that provoking her stern new husband can have some surprisingly enjoyable consequences. Perhaps Reverend Harcourt should have read the fine print before saying I do.
