Distracting the Heir by Wendy May Andrews

Distraction is a luxury he’s never been able to afford. Until now…
Constance Moreland can’t fathom anything more boring than a traditional marriage. So, she’s perfectly happy living a wealthy spinster’s life, traveling and having adventures. But when her paid companion longs for home, Connie agrees to attend a Society house party with her. She assumed those in attendance would be of little interest. Then he arrived and she realized just how wrong she’d been…

Florent Alcott is long overdue for some adventure. Years of struggling to right his family’s fortune and provide for his siblings have left him feeling older than his actual age. So, he readily accepts an invitation to his neighbor’s party, hoping for something exciting to happen. He just never expected that excitement to come in the form of the lovely and endlessly fascinating Connie…

But when an unexpected enemy arrives, can an impractical lady and an ever-practical gentleman thwart the villain in time to claim their happily ever after? Or will their time together be nothing but a pleasant—and fleeting—distraction?
