How to Woo a Wallflower

A not-quite-heiress takes on a publishing job—and an insufferable boss—in a novel by a USA Today–bestselling author and “historical romance lover’s dream” (Tessa Dare, author of The Duchess Deal).

Clarissa Ruthven was born to be a proper lady, but she’s never wanted to live up to the expectations her late father set. Determined to use her inheritance to help the less fortunate women of Victorian London, she’s devastated to learn she won’t be inheriting anything until she marries—a fate she has no interest in. Unwilling to let go of her plans, Clary works at Ruthven Publishing for Gabriel Adamson, a man who’s always hated her. She’s always returned the feeling. But as she begins to turn her family’s publishing company upside down, she finds herself unable to forget her handsome boss.

Gabriel Adamson believes in order. He certainly doesn’t believe Clary should be sticking her nose in the publishing company, and she definitely has no business invading his every thought. But Gabe soon finds he can’t resist Clary’s sense of freedom or her passionate kisses and starts to crave everything she’s willing to give him. And when his dark past comes back to haunt him, he’ll do anything to ensure Clary isn’t hurt . . . even if it means giving up the only woman he’s ever loved.
