Amelia started writing Gothic romances when she was seventeen. Her first Season was delayed when her father passed away, and she spent the year in mourning at her family’s estate in Lancashire. Writing filled her time, and when she debuted the following year, she found that the pleasures of the ton paled in comparison to her own characters. Now, at twenty-four, she has earned the nickname “the Unconquered” after turning down scores of proposals — and she is hopeful that she’ll soon be allowed to sink gracefully into spinsterhood.
All she wants is to write full-time, but her mother is convinced that she should marry to secure her future. Amelia is devastated, but she quickly turns her fear into a battle plan. If she can just convince her husband that she’s not suitable to be his countess, she’ll be able to set up her own house. She just has to hope that she’ll succeed before her husband drives her mad…
