Can a spirited governess find happiness with an enigmatic viscount?
Regency London
Having spent a childhood summer with Viscount Giles Weston, Angelica Wayne has never forgotten his kindness.
But when he employs her as his daughter’s governess, she finds him cold and formidable.
A widower, Giles is engaged to the beautiful but indifferent Lady Barbara Darlington. Darkly cynical, he avoids emotional commitment and wishes to be married in name only.
Despite Giles’ attitude, Angelica comes to enjoy his company, and her feelings for him start to rekindle.
When Barbara calls off the engagement, Giles asks Angelica to take her place as his bride.
And Angelica must decide whether she can marry a man seemingly incapable of returning her affection…
What is the reason for Giles’ haughtiness? Can Angelica thaw his frosty exterior?
Or are both condemned to a life without love?
THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE is classic Regency romance full of suspense and intrigue.
