Juliet is furious at her father and terrified of the fiancé willing to marry her penniless. She knows the future holds more of the same, cruelty and drudgery. But when that stranger, Michael Wayland, crashes into her life and refuses to leave, her days become anything but dreary. The handsome, enigmatic owner of a notorious gaming-hell, Michael owns her father’s debts. And, to Juliet’s astonishment, is winning her heart as well.
Unable to stay away, Juliet must decide whether the love she never expected is worth the wrath of her father and the contempt of the ton. When the temptation of Juliet’s bright eyes and alluring smile proves too much, Michael must make his own choice whether to bet on love.
Courting Scandal is a captivating and heartwarming debut novel by Ally Hudson. If you like Regency romances with witty, jaded rakes, and self-reliant heroines, then you’ll love this sweet and steamy story of found family, healing, and unexpected love.
