Estelle’s Ardent Admirer by Catherine Bilson

When her father departs for France in search of rare books, Estelle Baxter is left to manage Baxter’s Fine Books, and her younger sisters, in the bustling town of Hatfield. Practical, determined, and far too busy to entertain notions of marriage, Estelle is focused on keeping the bookshop afloat and her family’s reputation intact. But her orderly world is thrown into disarray when an infuriatingly charming stranger waltzes into her shop.
Felix Yates, the rakish grandson of a local baron, has returned from his Grand Tour with little interest in settling down, until he meets the spirited Miss Baxter. Intrigued by her wit, resilience, and no-nonsense attitude, Felix finds himself drawn to the beautiful woman who seems determined to resist him at every turn.
As rumours swirl about Estelle’s father’s safety and a meddling cousin threatens to take the shop, Estelle and Felix find their lives increasingly intertwined. But can a woman determined to protect her independence trust a man who always gets what he wants? And is Felix ready to prove he’s more than just a wealthy aristocrat with too much charm for his own good?
With family loyalty, financial woes, and a mischievous cat named Crafty complicating matters, Estelle must choose between guarding her heart and risking it all for the one man who might just be her perfect match.
