Caroline’s Discovery by Penny Fairbanks

She loves the finer things in life and won’t settle for less.
He’s been in love with his childhood best friend for years but knows he doesn’t stand a chance.
Will they become more than friends?

It’s no secret that Miss Caroline Harcourt wants to marry a wealthy gentleman with an impressive title. In fact, she talks about it all the time. So why has she gone through two Seasons, dozens of suitors, and even a few proposals without marrying?
Caroline is convinced that it’s because of her extremely high standards…but there are strange new feelings brewing in her heart that confuse and frighten her. She only has one person she can truly open up to and share her fears with—her best friend, Arthur.

As the son of a baronet, Mr. Arthur Helsden has just enough status to keep him in the good graces of Society. Unfortunately, he knows it won’t be enough for the woman he has loved his entire life.
He knows that his best friend, Caroline, wants the best of the best when it comes to the man she will marry. Besides, she’s never shown any interest in him. What hope could Arthur possibly have that she will ever see him as anything more than a friend?

Will Caroline realize that what she really needs is true love?
Will Arthur find a way to tell Caroline how he feels?
